We're new to the area and thought that our only supermarket option was the Hy Vee on 61. I'm really glad I bothered to ...Google other options in the area and found Midtown. I try to support local business wherever possible and was very pleased with my first visit to Midtown.
Share to: The liver has the primary responsibility for eliminating alcohol. 5% is eliminated by the kidneys in urine. Another 5% is exhaled by the lungs, which is why breathalyzer devicâ¦es detect alcohol use. The rest is broken down into acetic acid by the liver.
When alcohol is ingested, it is absorbed from the intestines directly into the bloodstream, where it is carried to all organs of the body. Most of the alcohol consumed is passed to the liver, which detoxifies the alcohol by first converting it to a chemical called acetaldehyde (pronounced a-suh-TAL-duh-hide). Acetaldehyde is then changed to acetic acid, which is converted to carbon dioxide and water or to fat, according to the body's energy needs.
