Which of the following statements about alcohol consumption is true?

Drinking water while drinking alcohol prevents intoxication.
Eating food before drinking can slow down alcohol absorption.
High-proof liquor is processed faster by the liver.
Caffeine eliminates the effects of alcohol.

The correct answer is: Eating food before drinking can slow down alcohol absorption.

Eating food before drinking can indeed slow down alcohol absorption. When food is present in the stomach, it creates a barrier that slows down the passage of alcohol into the bloodstream. This means that the effects of alcohol may be felt more gradually, allowing the body more time to process it. When alcohol is consumed on an empty stomach, it can lead to quicker intoxication, as there is no food to interfere with the absorption rate. This concept is particularly important to understand, as it emphasizes responsible drinking practices and highlights how various factors can influence the effects of alcohol on the body. The other statements do not accurately reflect how alcohol interacts with the body in relation to consumption and absorption.
