Alcohol enters your bloodstream partly through the mucous membranes as you ingest it and it enters you stomach and esophagus. But it is mainly absorbed into the bloodstream through the small intestine. You can read more about it here:

Alcohol has little direct effect on the bloodstream. We measure blood alcohol content as an indication of how much is in the body, and how much is getting to the brain -- where the immediate problems occur -- but it is in the cells and body organs that alcohol has its real effects. These range from deadening of the central nervous system to damage that occurs to the liver from the constant metabolization of alcohol in the bodies of chronic drinkers. Alcohol also raises blood pressure, causing the heart to work harder, and promotes hardening of the arteries.

It does not turn into sugar. It is metabolized by the liver into water and acetic acid.

Does any absorption take place in the stomach?

No. The stomach does not absorb anything. The above answer is wrong. The stomach is responsible for absorption of alcohol in particular, as well as a fair quantity of the drug aspirin. The majority of aspirin is absorbed in the duodenum of the small intestines, but some is taken in by the stomach.
