Message: <blockquote data-quote="sumathipale" data-source="post: 16075208" data-attributes="member: 495277">Alcohol is absorbed directly into the bloodstream through the stomach  and small intestine, where the liver takes approx 30 minutes to process  one ounce of alcohol. Until the liver has time to break down all of the  alcohol, it continues to circulate in the bloodstream, affecting all the  organs and once it reaches the brain, you begin to "feel" drunk.   Knowing this, I always eat before drinking and have a glass of water for  every two drinks.  The food slows the absorbtion and the water dilutes  it.  Plus, I find that going to the bathroom often sobers me up a lot  quicker and I don't have hangovers in the morning!          You can be poisoned by too much alcohol.  Your body is rejecting anymore of it. Alcohol depresses nerves that control involuntary actions such as  breathing, the heart beat, and the gag reflex (prevents choking). A  fatal dose of alcohol will eventually stop these functions. After the  victim stops drinking, the heart keeps beating, and alcohol in the  stomach continues to enter the bloodstream and circulate throughout the  body.  Alcohol is a poison. The buzz you get from it is the side effects of the  body fighting the poison. If you poison your body enough it tried to  purge itself of the poison. So, you barf.          </blockquote>
