But just because you have a gym membership that you actually use doesnât mean you canât also have a few things at home for doing other types of workouts that you donât have time for at the gym, or for those days that you just canât make it out the front door.
The inside wall of the small intestine needs to be thin, with a really big surface area. This allows absorption to happen quickly and efficiently. If the small intestine had a thick wall and a small surface area, a lot of digested food might pass out of the body before it had a chance to be absorbed.
Absorption is faster when the concentration of alcohol is higher in your beverage. Food in your stomach will slow the movement of alcohol from the stomach to the small intestine, and absorption is slower than if your stomach were empty. The faster you drink, the faster the alcohol will enter your bloodstream.
