Drinking on an empty stomach usually means that someone will get drunk faster, given that food helps to absorb alcohol, slowing down
alcohol absorption into the bloodstream.
A computer program then compares the level of absorption to statistical information that has been compiled regarding anticipated
ethyl alcohol absorption at different levels.
The authors speculated that adding sugar to alcoholic beverages may significantly decrease the rate of gastric emptying (nutrients passing from the stomach to the upper intestine, the main site
of alcohol absorption).
It's crucial to have food in your stomach before you drink, so as to slow down
alcohol absorption.
Our lawyers have made a careful study of the science of breath testing and
alcohol absorption, and we have worked with many experts over the years.
