Detailed explanation-1: -The rate at which alcohol is absorbed can be affected by a number of factors. For example, a strong alcoholic drink, when taken into an empty stomach, may cause a spasm of the pylorus that will impede passage into the small intestine, resulting in a slower overall rate of absorption.
Detailed explanation-2: -Whether the speed and quantity of alcohol consumption affects how quickly it enters the bloodstream is a matter that has produced quite a bit of scientific study. Many experts now argue that the speed of ingestion does affect the rate of absorption.
Detailed explanation-3: -Food content in the stomach: Having food in your stomach can help slow the absorption of alcohol and rate of intoxication. Mood: Emotions, such as stress, can change your stomach enzymes and affect how your body processes alcohol. Sex: Women tend to experience the effects of alcohol quicker and longer than men.
