Alcohol is absorbed by the body much faster than food because it doesn't require digestion. When consumed, alcohol passes quickly from the stomach and small intestine into the bloodstream, where it can directly affect the central nervous system. Additionally, alcohol is a small molecule that can easily permeate cell membranes, leading to rapid absorption. In contrast, food must be broken down into smaller components before absorption can occur, which takes more time.

The rest of the food that is not absorbed into your body is defecated.
Where is the absorbed in the digestive system?

The rate of absorption depends upon things like:the concentration of alcohol in the beverage - the greater the concentration, the faster the absorptionthe type of drink - Carbonated Beverages tend to speed up the absorption of alcoholwhether the stomach is full or empty - food slows down alcohol absorption.
