Did you know that drinking alcohol affects the body in a lot
of ways? When a person drinks alcoholic drinks such as wine or beer, the
alcohol is immediately absorbed in the blood and then carried to different
parts of the body. The alcohol stays inside the body for about 2 hours after
being consumed.
However, this span of time can change depending on the drinker’s
gender, weight, and other factors.
When a person drinks, the concentration of alcohol in the
blood rises to a peak and then goes down. Alcohol can make some people feel
happy and relaxed, but later on, it can make them feel sleepy or even confused.
Most of the alcohol is absorbed by the small intestine and
the stomach, while a small amount is passed through the urine and breath.
Did you know that eating food, especially fatty food, can
slow down the absorption of alcohol? The reason people get drunk is because
they drink more alcohol than their bodies can absorb.
Drinking too much alcohol is harmful to parts of the body,
especially the liver. People who have been drinking alcohol for a long time can
develop diseases like liver inflammation or liver scarring (cirrhosis) which
can cause death.
