The drinker's size The drink's size The drink's chemical make-up The time of day Posted by Akash | 638 days ago | Homework The size (the weight of the person) is a factor which affect how alcohol is absorbed in the body. Blood alcohol concentration is the total amount of alcohol divided by the total amount of body water. From this definition it follows that the weight directly affects BAC. The heavier the person the lower blood alcohol concentration compared to someone who drunk the same amount of alcohol. Rajesh | 638 days ago Different beverages may be absorbed at slightly different rates because of __________. Get the Correct ANSWER The drink’s size Alcohol is absorbed by the body much faster than food because ___________. Get the Correct ANSWER Alcohol doesn’t have to be digested Food absorbs alcohol in your system. Get the Correct ANSWER TRUE The more alcohol-concentrated a beverage is, the __________. Get the Correct ANSWER Faster it will be absorbed EXPLANATION: The concentration of alcohol in the beverage - The greater the concentration, the more the absorption. Alcohol in excess of ________-proof will absorb more slowly because it irritates the stomach. Get the Correct ANSWER 40 (about 80 proof or 40% alcohol) EXPLANATION: 1. The higher the alcohol the slower it will absorb in the stomach and in the body. Alcohol will pass more slowly through the stomach if you've eaten recently, allowing for more of it to be broken down before it reaches the liver, so eating before or while drinking really does slow down your buzz. And that's a good thing! Drinking excessive amounts of alcohol irritates the lining of the
stomach and intestines, which brings on nausea or vomiting, delays alcohol absorption and prevents it from entering the small intestine. Alcohol in excess of 30-proof will absorb more slowly because it irritates the stomach. Get the Correct ANSWER FALSE Alcohol in excess of 40-proof will absorb more slowly because it irritates the stomach. Alcohol in excess of ________-proof will absorb more slowly because it irritates the stomach. Get the Correct ANSWER 100 An exception is alcohol in excess of 100-proof will absorb more slowly because it irritates the stomach. For alcohol, proof is double the alcoholic percentage of a beverage. Get the Correct ANSWER TRUE EXPLANATION: In the United States, proof is defined as double the percentage of alcohol contained in the beverage. Multiplied by 2 ex: 80 proof = 40% alcohol. To find proof multiply the percent alcohol by 2 ex: 50% = 100 proofs. To find percent alcohol divide the proof by 2 ex: 6 proofs = 3% Specialty drinks like a Long Island Ice Tea contain multiple shots of 80 proof alcoholic beverages. Get the Correct ANSWER TRUE How fast the alcohol is absorbed depends upon ___________ Get the Correct ANSWER All of the above True
or False: Alcohol is one of the fastest substances absorbed by the body. Get the Correct ANSWER TRUE Alcohol strength refers to the _____ in a beverage. Get the Correct ANSWER concentration of alcohol Absorption of
alcohol by your body begins at the_______of drinking. Get the Correct ANSWER start EXPLANATION: Absorption of alcohol by your body begins when the individual starts to drink and ends when all of the alcohol is absorbed into bodily fluids. Absorption of alcohol by your body begins at the what of drinking Get the Correct ANSWER start EXPLANATION: Absorption of alcohol by your body begins when the individual starts to drink and ends when all of the alcohol is absorbed into bodily fluids. What percentage of alcohol is absorbed by the small intestine? Get the Correct ANSWER 70-80% A carbonated drink is absorbed slower by the body
because the carbonation. Get the Correct ANSWER FALSE If the driver drinks a carbonated alcohol beverage, the effects will be faster, as the alcohol is absorbed sooner and on the way to the brain. Get the Correct ANSWER TRUE EXPLANATION: Carbonation speeds up the absorption of alcohol into the bloodstream. The greater the concentration, the faster the absorption. Water and juice (Mixers) mixed with alcohol slows absorption for a lower BAC, carbonated beverages like soft drinks speed up absorption for a higher BAC. _______ tend/s to speed up the absorption of alcohol. Get the Correct ANSWER Carbonated Beverages __________ can speed up alcohol absorption. Get the Correct ANSWER Carbonation A carbonated alcoholic drink is absorbed faster by the body because of the carbonation. Get the Correct ANSWER TRUE Within __________ minutes after a drink is consumed, all of the alcoholic content has probably been absorbed into the
body. Get the Correct ANSWER 20 to 60 minutes EXPLANATION: After absorption, the alcohol enters the bloodstream and dissolves in the water of the blood. The blood carries the alcohol throughout the body. The alcohol from the blood then enters and dissolves in the water inside each tissue of the body (except fat tissue; alcohol cannot dissolve in fat). Once inside the tissues, alcohol exerts its effects on the body. The observed effects depend directly on the Blood Alcohol Concentration (B.A.C.) , which is related to the amount of alcohol consumed. The B.A.C. can rise significantly within 20 minutes after having a drink. Alcohol does not need to be digested in order to be absorbed by the body. Get the Correct ANSWER TRUE __________ is one of many factors that can determine
the rate of alcohol absorption. Get the Correct ANSWER Food Using __________ as a mixer with alcohol speeds up the absorption of alcohol. Get the Correct ANSWER Soft drinks EXPLANATION: Carbonation speeds up the absorption of alcohol into the bloodstream. The greater the concentration, the faster the absorption. Water and juice (Mixers) mixed with alcohol slows absorption for a lower BAC, carbonated beverages like soft drinks speed up absorption for a higher BAC. Alcohol touches every major part of your body within how many minutes Get the Correct ANSWER two minutes EXPLANATION: Within two minutes, it touches every major part of your body. Foods that are high in _________ have the least impact on slowing the body's absorption rate of alcohol. Get the Correct ANSWER Fat The body can absorb ____ ounces of alcohol per hour. Get the Correct ANSWER 1 ounce (1 drink) Drinking bottled water
or juice between alcoholic drinks will reduce your BAC. Get the Correct ANSWER TRUE Drinking champagne or mixing drinks with carbonated beverages will speed the absorption of alcohol into the body. Get the Correct ANSWER TRUE EXPLANATION: Carbonation speeds up the absorption of alcohol into the bloodstream. The greater the concentration, the faster the absorption. Water and juice (Mixers) mixed with alcohol slows absorption for a lower BAC, carbonated beverages like soft drinks speed up absorption for a higher BAC. Carbonated alcoholic beverages, such as champagne, hit the bloodstream and brain much more quickly than non-carbonated drinks. |
