The liver breaks down a majority of the alcohol you consume (about 90-98%). The rest (about 2-10%) is excreted from the body in ways such as exhalation and urination. However, the it takes about 30-45 minutes for the liver to process and metabolize 1 standard drink of alcohol (12 oz. of beer or 5 ounces of wine).

What organ is used by a cow to feed her newborn?
That organ is called the udder. It's located between her hind legs with four teats that the calf can latch on to--which ever teat he prefers--and get milk from through suckling. Milk is produced in the udder by drawing nutrients from the cow's bloodstream and synthesizing other compounds like casein and lactose. For calves that are newborn to two or three months of age, it's the most nutritious source for them to consume in order to grow.
Can human being live in water without air... if not how the kid living in the mummy tummy?
The developing foetus gets everything it needs from the mother via the umbilical cord. That includes food and oxygen (which is dissolved in the mother's bloodstream). The umbilical cord performs a 'gas exchange' which removes waste gasses from the bloodstream of the foetus, and delivers fresh oxygen. The foetus doesn't need to breathe air to grow and survive. Once the baby is delivered, the placenta stops working, and the child take its first breath of air. From that moment, it's dependence on the mother's body stops.
