Samapico Posted January 29, 2008 Report Posted January 29, 2008 Food doesn't really absord the alcohol... it just delays when it gets in the blood. Edit: Just found this: http://www.med.unc.edu/alcohol/prevention/quiz/quiz10.html#9Eating while drinking slows the absorption of alcohol in the body. [TRUE]Eating before and while drinking slows down the passage of alcohol from the stomach to the small intestine. Because % of the alcohol is absorbed into the bloodstream from the small intestine, having food in the stomach that absorbs some of the alcohol will help slow absorption of alcohol into the bloodstream.Oh well, it does absorb it... but it's not like if the alcohol vanishes, it will end up in the system anyway, just later. Genetics, weight, health and how long you've been drinking are all contributing factors as well.Yes, these factors affect how much your body reacts to alcohol. But an interesting difference to note is that the only thing affecting your blood alcohol concentration is weight (or more specifically, the amount of blood you have). So, some people can feel very drunk at 0.08g/dl, while others are not affected at all. That's why drink&drive is simply a bad idea, even if you "don't feel drunk", you could still find yourself in jail

Samapico Posted January 29, 2008 Report Posted January 29, 2008 We all know how much sama gets drunk and comes on here talking jibberish!lol... can't say it never happened.. When I come back from a party or something, I rarely go directly to bed, so I just roam the internets some.
No_Remorse Posted January 30, 2008 Report Posted January 30, 2008 (edited) If you're parents are alcoholics, so are you. I was thinking... What if you started drinking while your body was still in puberty, maybe this could build a higher resistance to the effects of alcohol. I haven't drank much for the better part of last year. So when I went on holidays I figured I'd be a lush and everyone would make fun of me. Surprisingly, I was able to hold down as much or more than I have been able to in the past. So frequency doesn't really play a huge role, for me at least, when it comes to drinking. Edited January 30, 2008 by No_Remorse
