Part C The most effective way to speed up the breakdown of alcohol is to __________. increase your physical activity; walk around drink a lot of coffee or other caffeinated beverage use a sauna or steam room to "sweat" the alcohol out of your system There is not an effective intervention to speed up the breakdown of alcohol. Part D Which of the following statements is FALSE? On average, a healthy adult can metabolize the equivalent of two to three drinks in an hour. Carbonated alcoholic beverages are absorbed more rapidly than non-carbonated beverages. Women often absorb 30-35% more of a given alcohol intake than do men of the same size. Consuming food with some fat, protein, and fiber slows the absorption of alcohol and can reduce blood alcohol concentration by as much as 50%.

.Alcohol is removed from the bloodstream by a series of metabolic reactions. The first reaction produces acetaldehyde; then other products are formed. The following data have been determined for the rate at which alcohol is removed from the blood of an average male, although individual rates can vary by 25–30%. Women metabolize alcohol a little more slowly than men Determine the rate equation, the rate constant, and the overall order for this reaction.
