Document Summary
Rubbing alcohol: don"t drink it, will be a bad experience. Wine: 4 ounces x percent alcohol by volume (12) = ethyl alcohol per serving (0. 48) Beer: 0. 48 ounces (12 ounces x 4% alcohol) Classified as depressants, in the sedatives and hypnotics class (relaxes you and makes you sleepy) Proof is how we describe how much alcohol is in something is 2 times the percentage of alcohol. If you have full stomach less alcohol would be absorbed into the bloodstream time. Peak is at about an hour or so, and will fall off with time. Adh (alcohol dehydrogenase in the stomach wall) Absorbing less alcohol because adh breaks it down before it can really get absorbed if you drink on a full stomach. What you eat does also take into effect of how much alcohol. Mostly carbs would be quick, mostly fat will be slow.
