The higher the proof or the alcohol percentage the faster the absorption?
By the body? Yes.
What beers you get drunk faster?
Those with a higher alcohol content
Why do Asians get drunk faster and sober faster?
A larger percentage of persons of Asian decent, have a dominant gene mutation which interferes with the role of an enzyme called acetaldehyde dehydrogenase. The role of this enzyme is to convert acetaldehyde, a metabolite of ethanol (alcohol), into acetic acid. Persons with this mutation therefore experience higher levels of acetaldehyde in their systems when they consume alcohol.
Why does drinking carbonated beverages lead to a higher intoxication of alcohol?
The carbonation helps the alcohol enter the body slightly faster, but it is the total amount of alcohol ingested that determines how drunk you get.
How does drinking on an empty stomach affect peak blood alcohol concentration?
Without food to slow the absorption, the peak blood alcohol concentration is reached more quickly, and can also be a bit higher, as well.

How do men eliminate alcohol faster than women?
Men generally have more muscle mass and higher levels of the enzyme alcohol dehydrogenase, which helps break down alcohol in the body. As a result, men tend to metabolize alcohol faster and eliminate it from their system more quickly than women.
Does a glass of water evaporate faster than tequila?
NO Because the vapor pressure of alcohol is greater than water. The higher the V.P. the faster the rate of evaporation
Does fat absorb alcohol faster than muscle?
Fat or adipose tissue does not absorb alcohol. Typically speaking, 20 percent of alcohol is absorbed in the stomach and 80 percent is absorbed in the small intestine. From there, the alcohol enters the bloodstream and it's effects take place usually within 20 minutes of consuming a drink. The rate of absorption depends on several factors. Notably, the blood alcohol concentration (BAC) of drink, the amount of food in a person's stomach (food tends to slow the absorption), and whether or not the alcohol is consumed with a carbonated beverage (carbonation speeds up absorption). All things being equal, alcohol usually has a greater effect on a woman than a man of equal height and weight because a man typically has more muscle and a woman typically has more fat therefore a higher ratio of the alcohol will stay in the woman's bloodstream as opposed to being diluted and absorbed by muscle.
How many alcoholic percentage in rum and tequila?
It varies by brand, the higher the cost the higher percent alcohol (proof) it will be. However rum is usually about 35% alcohol (70 proof) and tequila is almost always 40% (80 proof).
Is it true that 25 percent of fatalities on the road are related to alcohol?
It certainly is safe to say that, but actually the percentage is probably higher.
What Men's bodies contain more than women so they can consume slightly more alcohol to reach the same BAC?
Males have higher amounts of the dehydrogenase enzyme, so males can eliminate alcohol faster. Men also have more water in their bodies than women so they can dilute alcohol faster.
