Alcohol must be broken down by the digestive system because it is a psychoactive substance that can affect the body and brain. When consumed, it is absorbed primarily through the stomach and small intestine, entering the bloodstream. The liver then metabolizes alcohol, converting it into less harmful substances to prevent toxicity, as excessive amounts can lead to impaired function and damage to organs. This breakdown process is crucial for managing the effects of alcohol on the body.
