food slows the absorption of alcohol in the bloodstream by up to 6 hours
Having food in your stomach can slow down the absorption of alcohol into your bloodstream, as it takes longer for the alcohol to reach your small intestine where most absorption occurs. However, it does not prevent alcohol absorption entirely and having food in your stomach does not guarantee you will not get intoxicated. Drinking in moderation is the best way to stay safe when consuming alcohol.
It takes about 20 minutes for the effect alcohol to be noticeable. But Eating food whilst drinking will slow down the absorption rate. For every 2 or 3 drinks you should have a glass of water. (this will also slow down absorption rate.) Sometimes people will have a greater resistance to alcohol i.e. Someone being way over the driving limit but not be affected at all by the alcohol. I think the more appropriate question would have been; What factors affect alcohol absorption.
These do not speed up the absorption of alcohol. The typical body processes alcohol at the rate of 1 unit per hour. There is no quick fix for absorption. Although I'm not sure about the effect of fruit punch on alcohol absorption, carbonated beverages DO increase alcohol absorption, I think the previous answer is confusing alcohol absorption with alcohol metabolism. In particular the increased temperature of your body causes the CO2 gas to come out of solution and speeds up alcohol assimilation into the blood stream. Assuming the same amount of alcohol as a non-carbonated beverage, the increased speed of assimilation will increase the rate at which alcohol can go to your body's tissues (with the exception of fat), ALTHOUGH this will not change the rate of your liver's alcohol metabolism.
A few things that can effect the absorption and metabolism of alcohol are: Gender Weight BMI (fat percent in the body) Genetic disposition Concurrent drugs in your system Amount of food in stomach
The reason why intoxicated people drink coffee is not to slow the absorption of alcohol into the body, but to use caffeine as a stimulant, to counteract the depressant effect of alcohol. One drug fights against the other. But no, coffee does not slow the rate of alcohol absorption into the bloodstream.
