Solution

The correct answers are:

  • Most of the ingested alcohol is absorbed into the small intestine.
  • About 20% is absorbed in the stomach.

The body absorbs alcohol in several ways. The small intestine absorbs most of the alcohol you consume, and the rest is absorbed by the stomach. However, the presence of food in the stomach can slow down the absorption process, not speed it up. Also, while the liver does play a significant role in metabolizing (breaking down) alcohol, it does not absorb a large percentage of the alcohol consumed.
