Lower absorption rate
A full stomach reduces the rate of alcohol absorption.
The level and rate of alcohol intoxication are dependent on the rate of alcohol absorption. Factors affecting absorption include gender, size, amount of body fat versus muscle, medications being used, and whether or not a person has an empty stomach.
There are actually a few unusual foods that csn reduce the rate of alcohol absorption. These foods might come to a bit of a surptise to you. To start off with a few; papaya, onions, tomato paste, oregano, honey dews, celery, and passion fruit. There are also some mixtures: grape juice and pepper, relish and honey, calamari and spinach (i know right), and my absolute favorite kosher pickles and hummus. Hope this helps you out!!!
Consuming frozen or very cold alcohol reduces its rate of absorption.
Yes, stress can definitely influence the rate of absorption of alcohol inside of a person's body, because stress plays a big part in the way a person's metabolism functions.
These do not speed up the absorption of alcohol. The typical body processes alcohol at the rate of 1 unit per hour. There is no quick fix for absorption. Although I'm not sure about the effect of fruit punch on alcohol absorption, carbonated beverages DO increase alcohol absorption, I think the previous answer is confusing alcohol absorption with alcohol metabolism. In particular the increased temperature of your body causes the CO2 gas to come out of solution and speeds up alcohol assimilation into the blood stream. Assuming the same amount of alcohol as a non-carbonated beverage, the increased speed of assimilation will increase the rate at which alcohol can go to your body's tissues (with the exception of fat), ALTHOUGH this will not change the rate of your liver's alcohol metabolism.
If your stomach only has alcohol in it, the alcohol will very quickly go into your blood system. With greasy foods, the concentration of alcohol in your stomach is going to be no where near as high. I hope I helped :)
No, it actually increases it because of the dilution of the mixer
The reason why intoxicated people drink coffee is not to slow the absorption of alcohol into the body, but to use caffeine as a stimulant, to counteract the depressant effect of alcohol. One drug fights against the other. But no, coffee does not slow the rate of alcohol absorption into the bloodstream.

No. Blood alcohol level is a measure of how much alcohol is in solution in the blood. It is possible to affect the rate of absorption, but not the level that is reached.
