After consuming alcohol it is absorbed in the blood stream within minutes. The duration for which the alcohol stays in the body depends upon the quantity of alcohol consumed and metabolic rate at which it is processed in the body. Only ten percent of the alcohol consumed leaves the body by way breath, perspiration and urine, while the remaining is broken down by a metabolic process.
Metabolism - Alcohol:
The rate at which the alcohol is processed remains the same irrespective of the height, weight, color and gender. The metabolism takes place hourly at the rate of .015 of Blood Alcohol Concentration (BAC). The BAC level continues to move in the upward trend after the consumption of alcohol. While it is possible to control the BAC level, one cannot speed up the metabolic rate at which the alcohol is processed. Few drinks like vodka and gin generally do not cause a hangover, but it would be best to avoid alcohol. Endogenous ethanol production takes place in our body 24*7. The volume of this alcohol generation is based on the food consumed. Unfortunately the law does not distinguish between alcohol produced and consumed.
Tips to control your BAC level:
Any drink whether mixed or straight contains certain amount of pure alcohol, which tests positive with a breathalyzer.
Eating high protein food reduces the rate of absorption of alcohol in the body.
Think before venturing into drinking games
Go for a non - alcohol beverage in order to socialize among a drinking crowd.
Even while drinking alcohol, spacing it out with a non-alcoholic beverage keeps your BAC level
down.
It is suggested to restrict your alcohol consumption to 1 drink every hour.
It is preferable to stay active while drinking in order to be aware of its impact.
Say a 'no' to unfamiliar drinks for their alcohol levels could be deceiving.
Take your physician's advice while consuming alcohol during medication.
