Alcohol Effects on Your Body. Alcohol is a drug that is absorbed into the bloodstream from the stomach and small intestine. It is broken down by the liver and then eliminated from the body. There are limits to how fast the liver can break down alcohol and this process cannot be sped up. Until the liver has time to break down all of the alcohol, the alcohol continues to circulate in the bloodstream, affecting all of the body's organs, including the brain. In general, the liver can break down the equivalent of about one drink per hour and nothing can speed this up â including black coffee.
Studies by a team at Johns Hopkins indicate that women's livers metabolize alcohol faster than men's and thus may be more subject to wear and tear. Mendelson speculates that in female alcoholics a lack of gastric enzyme means that their livers have to work even harder, accelerating the destruction.
