The primary route is in the intestines. However, it is also absorbed in the mouth, throat and stomach.
That's correct. Alcohol is absorbed directly through the lining of the stomach and the small intestine into the bloodstream, which is why it can have rapid effects on the body. Once in the bloodstream, alcohol travels to the liver to be metabolized and then distributed throughout the body.
The Liver.
Alcohol is primarily metabolized by the liver.
Absorption through the skin is extremely limited, although it could add to the blood alcohol content. It would still be detected by the Breathalyzer because it measures alcohol leaving the bloodstream in the lungs.
its about 50 to 60 percent alcohol
No. Alcohol is metabolized by the liver.
Alcohol gets absorbed in the stomach walls, but about 80% goes straight to the bloodstream. ANSWER Alcohol is metabolized or broken down by the liver. The liver breaks down almost all drugs into a less harmful substance (metabolite) before it is excreted in the urine.
located in the cytoplasm
No. It breaks down and gets metabolized by the liver. It in no way gets metabolized into isopropyl alcohol in the process. Isopropyl alcohol is very dangerous and can lead the blindnes or death.
The percentage of alcohol that is not metabolized in the liver and excreted unchanged is between 2 and 10%.There is a slight range due to body size and amount of alcohol ingested.
Alcohol is metabolized at the rate of about .015 of BAC per hour.
80 hours after the alcohol has been metabolized by the body.
