In the average person, 70-80 percentage of alcohol is absorbed through the small intestine.

  • Alcohol is not treated the same way as other food nutrients. In fact, the digestive system exerts additional effort to remove it from the body, giving alcohol removal priority over other nutrients including lipids (fats), carbs, and proteins.  
  • All parts of the digestive tract take in alcohol. In contrast to other nutrients, alcohol is quickly absorbed in the small intestine and enters the bloodstream immediately via the stomach lining.
  • Although other bodily cells can also metabolize alcohol, the liver is where alcohol metabolism mostly takes place.  
  • Acetaldehyde, a poisonous chemical, is created when alcohol is broken down.
