How does food in the stomach affect the level of intoxication?

No effect
Increases the rate of intoxication
Decreases the absorption of water, reducing intoxication
Food in the stomach can slow the rate of intoxication

The correct answer is: Food in the stomach can slow the rate of intoxication

When alcohol is consumed, it is absorbed into the bloodstream through the stomach and small intestine. The presence of food in the stomach slows down this process by delaying the passage of alcohol into the small intestine. This means that the bloodstream will receive less alcohol at once, resulting in a slower rate of intoxication. Option A is incorrect because food can have an effect on intoxication. Option B is incorrect because food does not increase the rate of intoxication, but rather slows it down. Option C is incorrect because it is referring to the absorption of water, not alcohol.
