BDifficulty 2/5

Compared with drinking on an empty stomach, taking alcohol with food can make its absorption...

Correct answer

Slower and more gradual.

Slower and more gradual, because food can delay alcohol reaching the small intestine, where much of it is absorbed. Food does not create a barrier preventing alcohol from entering the blood or eliminate its effects. Several factors influence the outcome; eating does not establish a safe alcohol level or make driving after drinking safe.
