Recognizing IntoxicationQuestion 37 of 80
How does drinking on an empty stomach typically affect intoxication?
a.Alcohol is absorbed faster, raising BAC more quickly
b.Alcohol is not absorbed at all
c.It permanently lowers BAC
d.It has no effect on absorption
Explanation
Without food to slow absorption, alcohol passes into the bloodstream more quickly, causing BAC to rise faster. A guest who has not eaten may show signs of intoxication sooner than expected. Offering food is therefore a useful responsible-service tool.
