B	Heart
C	Either A or B

Once in the stomach, alcohol is absorbed directly into your blood stream through the tissue lining of the stomach and small intestine.

Detailed explanation-2: -Alcohol is absorbed throughout the digestive tract. Unlike other nutrients alcohol is absorbed directly into the blood stream through the stomach lining and it is also rapidly absorbed in the small intestine. Alcohol metabolism mostly occurs in the liver, but other cells in the body can also metabolise alcohol.
