If you've got a fast metabolism do you break alcohol down quicker?

Answer 1

I'm assuming "drinking" means alcohol.

Alcohol speeds up your metabolism at first (makes you high), however after a while it slows down your metabolism which makes you unable to think clearly and react normally.

Answer 2

No. Alcohol is broken down by the liver. Fast metabolism only means that your muscles burn more calories. Alcohol takes about the same amount of time to break down for just about everyone, unless you have some kind of liver problem, in which case it can take even longer. But most people with liver failure have already been told to avoid alcohol. no
