Question 4628

Does eating food or drinking water reduce your blood alcohol level?

  1. Yes, while drinking alcohol.
  2. No, it only delays the absorption of alcohol.
  3. Yes, after drinking alcohol.
Show answer and explanation

Correct answer: No, it only delays the absorption of alcohol.

No. Eating or drinking water can make alcohol enter your bloodstream more slowly, but it all gets there eventually and is not eliminated any sooner. Your liver removes the alcohol you have already drunk, very slowly, and nothing speeds up that process.
