No. The stomach does not absorb anything.

The above answer is wrong. The stomach is responsible for absorption of alcohol in particular, as well as a fair quantity of the drug aspirin. The majority of aspirin is absorbed in the duodenum of the small intestines, but some is taken in by the stomach.

Think about what you are asking. Alcohol enters the stomach before it enters the bloodstream. The stomach can prevent alcohol from entering the bloodstream, which it does to some extent by digesting it (but not all of it) but it obviously cannot eliminate alcohol from the bloodstream. That task falls to the kidneys.

No. Amino acids are digested and absorbed in the small intestine. They become partially digested to polypeptides then into proteins. Actually, animo acids are chains of protein.

Any food in the stomach will slow absorption a little bit, but the difference is small. Instead of milk take a lot of meat or fish along with your drinks. This will not only slow down the absorption, it will protect your gastro-intestinal tract.

Can you take sleeping pills in milk?

Yes, it is possible to take it. There is no ingredient in milk that prevents benzodiazepines (often prescribed sleeping medicines) from being absorbed from the stomach and intestines. As a result, taking sleeping medications with milk is not a problem. In the case of medicine, if it is not permitted to be taken after eating, it is usually because food in the stomach will interfere with drug absorption. As a result, it will be necessary to take the medication before eating or on an empty stomach. Only in that case should the tablet be taken with sips of water ( no milk or any other beverage should be used). That is, no more water, because stomach acidity may be required for digestion and absorption of such tainted foods. you can buy sleep aid tablets from uksleepaid.
