drinking it cold

an empty stomach

drinking it warm

drinking large amounts

Answer and Explanation

The Correct Answer is B

A. drinking it cold: Temperature does not significantly influence alcohol absorption. The rate is not increased by consuming cold beverages.

B. an empty stomach: Without food, alcohol passes quickly into the small intestine where it is rapidly absorbed into the bloodstream, increasing its effects.

C. drinking it warm: Warm temperature may slightly increase vasodilation but does not significantly affect absorption rate compared to stomach contents.

D. drinking large amounts: Drinking more increases alcohol concentration but does not increase absorption rate per unit; rather, it may saturate metabolic pathways.
