true
approximately [blank] of the alcohol is absorbed into the bloodstream through
the mouth, throat, and stomach.
20%
the remaining {blank} percent is absorbed through the small intestines
80%
once alcohol spreads throughout the body, most of it must be broken down by

1 drink per hour, or half an ounce of pure alcohol per hour
rate of absorption varies with emptying time of the stomach, if alcohol is

slower
the live is responsible for metabolizing approx [blank] percent of alcohol

what other three organs help break down the remaining 10% left in system?

blood alcohol content (BAC)
the amount of alcohol that has been absorbed through the bloodstream
depending on state laws, it is illegal to drive with a BAC of .08 or higher
true

, true
it takes this amount of time for one drink to leave the body, per drink consumed

Myths that people say help the body metabolize alcohol faster
a cold shower, fresh air, exercise, food, and black coffee
how does alcohol consumed affect BAC?

(or half ounce of pure alcohol), consuming more will result in a build up in the

a server is not legally responsible from knowing a guests BAC, but we can count
drinks, have an understanding of the BAC chart and look for signs of intoxication,
plus identifying risk factors

many factors determine when and how alcohol leaves the stomach, if food is

slow the consumption of alcohol by up to three times slower in this small intestine

rate
true

Sign of intoxication are
progressive
drinks with carbonation may speed up the rate at high alcohol enter the
bloodstream
true
a woman the same size as a man will have a higher BAC because
- they have a higher percentage of body fat
- they have fewer liver enzymes to help break down alcohol
- typically has less water and blood in their bodies which equals a higher BAC faster
than a larger person
