Is digestion needed in alcohol absorption?

Yes, without digestion, alcohol cannot be absorbed
No. Alcohol is absorbed directly into the bloodstream after consuming
Only a small amount of digestion is necessary
Yes, but only for certain types of alcohol

The correct answer is: No. Alcohol is absorbed directly into the bloodstream after consuming

Alcohol molecules are small enough to be absorbed directly into the bloodstream without the need for digestion. Some people may experience slight differences in their blood alcohol level depending on how much they have eaten before drinking, but this is attributed to alcohol's interaction with food in the stomach rather than digestion breaking down the alcohol itself. None of the other options accurately reflect the process of alcohol absorption. Option A implies that digestion is necessary for all alcohol absorption, Option C suggests that a small amount of digestion is needed, and Option D incorrectly claims that certain types of alcohol require digestion. So, the correct option is B.
