small intestine. Alcohol is primarily absorbed into the bloodstream through the walls of the small intestine after it is consumed.
The small intestine absorbs nutrients such as carbohydrates, proteins, and fats, while the large intestine absorbs water and electrolytes. Examples of nutrients absorbed in the small intestine include glucose, amino acids, and fatty acids, while water and electrolytes like sodium and potassium are absorbed in the large intestine.
Alcohol is absorbed quickly by the stomach and small intestine, entering the bloodstream soon after consumption. The liver metabolizes alcohol at a steady rate, regardless of how quickly it's consumed, which is why drinking too much alcohol can overwhelm the liver's ability to process it efficiently.
micro villi in the jujeum (second part of your small intestine)
Digested foods are absorbed primarily in the small intestine. The inner surface of the small intestine is lined with villi and microvilli, which increase the surface area for absorption of nutrients into the bloodstream.
