Which food type is known to slow the absorption of alcohol?

Fruits
Fatty foods
Vegetables
Grains

The correct answer is: Fatty foods

Fatty foods are known to slow the absorption of alcohol into the bloodstream. When fatty foods are consumed, they can coat the lining of the stomach and take longer to digest than other types of food. This delayed digestion results in a slower release of alcohol into the bloodstream, which can lead to a moderated effect of alcohol consumption. Conversely, other food types, such as fruits and grains, may not provide the same degree of protection against rapid alcohol absorption. For instance, fruits, which are often high in sugar and water content, may not significantly slow the absorption process. Similarly, while vegetables can also contribute to a full feeling, they do not possess the same fat content to effectively slow digestion and absorption as fatty foods do. Understanding the effects different food types have on alcohol absorption can help in making informed choices regarding alcohol consumption.
