Can the blood alcohol level be reduced by eating food or drinking plenty of water?

Question

DentroTest · Accepted Answer

Eating food or drinking water does not eliminate or reduce the total amount of alcohol that passes into the blood. The presence of food in the stomach, especially if it is rich in fats or proteins, delays gastric emptying into the small intestine, which is where most of the alcohol is absorbed. Therefore, eating only makes the alcohol pass into the blood more slowly, delaying the moment when the maximum peak blood alcohol level is reached and prolonging its presence in the body. The only real way to eliminate alcohol is the passage of time through the metabolism of the liver.
