Alcohol is absorbed into the bloodstream from the small intestine – the part of the bowel that starts where the stomach ends.<br />But according to HuffPost, how fast that alcohol is absorbed varies according to what was, or wasn't, in your stomach when you had the drink.<br />According to HuffPost, health professionals say that in general, it's far better to have a full or partially full stomach before ingesting alcohol.<br />That's because drinking on an empty stomach can lead to all sorts of problems.<br />If it hits your system too fast, you can become dizzy, have trouble coordinating your body movements, and struggle to think clearly.<br />In extreme situations, you may need to be hospitalized, or even die, from something called alcoholic ketoacidosis.<br />If you must drink on an empty stomach, keep your drinks light, watery, and creamy. A pina colada is far better than doing tequila shots. Scrounge for snacks. Cheers!
