Once the alcohol goes into our system, an ounce of it is process for a period of one hour.

The first stop happens in the stomach where absorption through the gastric lining and bloodstream occurs. Stronger drinks are absorbed more quickly. The second stop happens in the brain where its function decreases/ is increasingly impaired as the BAC or blood alcohol content grows. The third stop will be in the heart. However, it should be noted that it does not receive any physical alcohol, but its effects on the heart are strong. Alcohol is a vasodilator which means it causes blood vessels to dilate. This indicates more blood flow through the body-- but lowers the overall blood pressure. The fourth stop will be in the kidneys where blood is filtered. The fifth stop will be in the bladder where it will excreted from the body. Lastly, the liver is where the rest of alcohol left in your system is broken down. This process is known as metabolizing. The chemical that remains after metabolization is acetaldehyde and the body gets rid it by further metabolizing it into carbon dioxide and water.

Therefore, an ounce of alcohol is processed in our body for 60 minutes or one hour.

12345 [234]


The Correct  answer is C.

The Island of Hispaniola is the second largest island in the Caribbean, at 29, 237sq miles. Haiti occupies about 1/3 of the Island while the Dominican Republic controls the balance of the land.

Christopher Columbus claimed Hispaniola in 1492, declaring it  "the most beautiful island in the world".  It later became the launching base for the Spanish conquest of the Caribbean, as well as the American mainland. 

The western third of the island became known as Haiti in 1804 and while the remainder became known as the Dominican Republic in 1844.
