Alcohol begins to affect you after it enters your body?
As the Alcohol is consumed by the Drinker, it flows down the throat and into the Stomach. From there it either is absorbed by the walls of the stomach or it goes to the small intestines (most likely). Then, the alcohol is absorbed by the intestines and goes into the bloodstream. It goes directly to the heart, where it is then pumped around to the whole body. It reaches the Brain and sends it damaging messages, then takes a path down to the Liver. From the Liver, it is processed and oxidated (burned up). The Body can only process 1/2 Ounces of Alcohol each hour. Alcohol is very dangerous for the whole body in many ways and is a harm to society.
