Absorption of Alcohol
-
Alcohol is a toxin that is absorbed into your bloodstream and will travel to every organ in your body, including your brain.
-
Space your drinks; drink a non-alcoholic beverage before consuming alcohol & one glass of water per drink consumed.
-
Drinking water dilutes alcohol, slowing down the amount of alcohol that is absorbed at one time.
-
Eating food before or during drinking decreases the rate of absorption of alcohol.
-
Carbonated drinks increase the rate of alcohol absorption.
-
Acetaminophen is metabolized by the liver, and when combined with alcohol, can cause liver damage.
