Alcohol is absorbed more quickly if ...

Correct answer

the stomach is empty.

With an empty stomach, alcohol is usually absorbed more quickly. Food may delay absorption, but does not neutralise alcohol or make drinking safe for driving. There is no universal two-to-four-hour interval that establishes an empty stomach for everyone: this depends on the meal and individual factors. The safest choice when driving is not to drink alcohol.
