what is the effect of food when you drink alcohol?
When you consume alcohol on an empty stomach, the alcohol is usually absorbed in the blood within fifteen minutes to two-and-a-half hours. If you have a moderate amount of food in your stomach when you drink, that speed slows down to thirty minutes to three hours. If youâre drinking on a full stomach, alcohol absorption ranges from three to six hours. Stomach emptying time is a major component of alcohol absorption time.
