What factor can slow down the absorption of alcohol into your bloodstream?

  1. Food

  2. Physical exercise

  3. Water

  4. Carbonated beverages

The correct answer is: Food

Eating food before or while consuming alcohol can slow down the absorption of alcohol into the bloodstream. When you drink alcohol on an empty stomach, it is absorbed much more quickly, leading to a higher blood alcohol concentration. Food in the stomach helps to slow down this process by preventing alcohol from entering the bloodstream too rapidly. This can help in reducing the overall impact alcohol has on your body and cognition.
