what main body organ gets rid of alcohol for you?
About 20 percent of the alcohol consumed is absorbed in the stomach, and about 80 percent is absorbed in the small intestine. One organ that is particularly affected by alcohol is the liver because it is the main organ that processes alcohol. The liver weighs more than three pounds and is the largest organ in the body. One of the liverâs main jobs is to get rid of poisonsâlike alcoholâthat enter the body. Without the liver, you could not live.
