Alcohol Safety

Answer: C - When a person drinks alcohol, the part of the body that absorbs the largest quantity is the small intestine.

Though alcohol travels through other parts of the body, only small amounts are absorbed before it reaches the small intestine. The small intestine is where the bulk of it is then absorbed and travels throughout the body via the bloodstream. This is why the effects of alcohol are usually delayed and can even occur after the person has finished drinking.
