Answer 1

Answer:

True

Explanation:

The absorption rate for food is how fast the food we eat is absorbed by the body. Alcohol is absorbed into our blood via the stomach and it is also absorbed through the small intestine. More than half of the alcohol intake in the body is absorbed in the small intestine.

Alcohol Absorption rate when tensed/relaxed

When a person is tensed, it can lead to a delay in the removal of stomach content and also increase the rate materials move to the intestines. When a tensed person takes alcohol, this leads to an increase in the volume of alcohol moving to the small intestine where it is absorbed faster. Contrary a relaxed person does not have the same amount of alcohol moving into the small intestine as the tensed person.

This explains why alcohol is absorbed more quickly when people are tensed as opposed to when they are relaxed
