Practice question

Food in your stomach decreases the rate of alcohol absorption.

  1. True
  2. False
  3. Only heavy foods
  4. Only light snacks

Answer: A — True

Food in your stomach slows down the absorption of alcohol. This is because the food acts as a barrier between the alcohol and your intestinal lining, delaying its entry into the bloodstream. This applies to all types of food, not just heavy or light ones. Therefore, the statement that heavy or light foods have a different effect on alcohol absorption is incorrect. The correct answer is A, as it accurately states that food in your stomach decreases the rate of alcohol absorption.
