When you consume alcohol it is fully digested?
No. Alcohol is not a food, and is not affected by the digestive system. After passing into the bloodstream it is metabolized by liver enzymes.
How many ounces of alcohol does the liver dissolve in one hour?
The liver metabolizes alcohol by using enzymes to change it into water, CO2 and fatty acids. It does not dissolve it in the technical sense. The rate at which a healthy liver can metabolize alcohol is about 6/10ths of an ounce (14 gr or 17 ml) per hour.
Can you drink moderately with elevated ALT?
It really isn't recommended. Things like cirrhosis of the liver, problems with bleeding, and other serious health problems (these do not happen overnight) and death are usually good enough reasons to lay off the booze until you find out if you enzymes come down in 6 months to a year. If your liver enzymes are still up after this time -- switch to something non-alcoholic.
How many minutes does it take for alcohol to hit the brain?
From a purely physiological standpoint the blood carries alcohol to the brain within one minute of it reaching the bloodstream. The length of time it takes to reach the bloodstream depends on how much food you have eaten, as well as the type (starchy food tends to absorb some alcohol which slows it from reaching the small intestine where absorption takes place). In addition, the enzymes present in your liver will metabolise the alcohol, so in very small quantities it may never reach your brain at all. As a general rule, if one is drinking on an empty stomach the alcohol will start to have an effect within 10 minutes, whereas if one is drinking on a full stomach the effects will not be noticed for longer.
