We know that through metabolism the body rids itself of alcohol. Alcohol must be metabolized to get it out of the body.

To remove most substances from the body they are chemically reacted (metabolized) to make them more water soluble so they pass into the urine. Ethanol is oxidized by alcohol dehydrogenase (a group of enzymes) in the liver.

Process by which the alcohol leaves the body?

Alcohol is primarily broken down in the liver by enzymes into acetaldehyde and then further metabolized into acetate. The majority of the alcohol is eliminated from the body through urine and breath. It takes about one hour for the body to metabolize one standard drink.


Could drinking other beverages after drinking alcohol speed up the removal of alcohol in the body?

No, drinking other beverages after alcohol consumption does not speed up the removal of alcohol from the body. The liver metabolizes alcohol at a fixed rate, and it takes time for the body to process and eliminate alcohol. Drinking water or other beverages can help with hydration but will not accelerate the rate at which alcohol is removed from the body.


Does your spirit leave the body when your sleeping?

There is no scientific evidence to suggest that the spirit leaves the body during sleep. Sleep is a natural physiological process that allows the body to rest and restore energy.


Which organ makes almost all of the body's alcohol-processing machinery?

The liver is the organ primarily responsible for processing alcohol in the body. It breaks down alcohol into byproducts that can be eliminated from the body, helping to prevent alcohol toxicity.


Can you dilute alcohol in the system by drinking water twenty four hours later?

No, on two reasons. 1.) Your body metabolises 1 unit of alcohol an hour. 1 unit is equivalent to one measure of spirits or half a pint of beer. By the time 24 hours hours has passed, most of the alcohol will have already been metabolised in your body, unless you drank more than 24 units. 2.) Drinking water does not affect the rate of alcohol breakdown at all. The only thing it will serve to do is to reduce the risk of dehydration if water is consumed as you drink alcohol.
