Question 4960
Alcohol consumed during meals or with food passes into the blood...
- more quickly.
- at the same rate as on an empty stomach.
- more slowly.
Show answer and explanation
Correct answer: more slowly.
More slowly. Food delays alcohol entering your bloodstream, and fats slow it down even more. On an empty stomach, it enters faster and in greater amounts. Eating does not keep alcohol out of your bloodstream; it only delays it.
