  11. How Alcohol Enters The Body • After being absorbed, alcohol enters the blood stream by dissolving in the water of the blood. • It goes on to dissolve in the water inside the tissue of the body. (Note: It does not dissolve in fat, because alcohol is insoluble in fat.)

  12. How Alcohol Exits The Body • 5% of the absorbed alcohol is eliminated by the kidney in the urine. • Another 5% is exhaled by the lungs. • The liver breaks the remaining 90% into acetic acid.
