Question

true or false: the absorption of alcohol can be slowed down by eating, but only water can reduce the bal level

Answer 1

The statement that the absorption of alcohol can be slowed down by eating, but only water can reduce the BAL level is false.  Adding water or other drinks without alcohol or eating food will dilute the alcohol in your stomach and will slow absorption.

This means that the rate of absorption may change depending on what you eat. The BAL on the other hand can not be changed.

Answer 2

Answer: The statement is false.

Explanation: When someone drinks and it is accompanied with non-alcoholic beverages or food, the absorption of the alcohol can be slowed. All of these together make the alcohol being dissolved into the stomach and slows down the absorption. However, once the alcohol has gone into the bloodstream, nothing can reduce the Bal level, because the body is trying to metabolize and remove the alcohol from the system. So, the body level rises when somebody drinks faster the organs can process it.
