Why Eliminates Alcohol from the Bloodstream?

Once ethanol is in the circulation, it reaches all tissues in the body, including the brain, where it causes intoxication. Our bodies are designed to terminate the action of drugs, including alcohol, so that the intoxication doesn't persist when a person stops drinking.

What is the only thing that eliminates alcohol from the body?

More than 90% of alcohol is eliminated by the liver; 2-5% is excreted unchanged in urine, sweat, or breath.

How does alcohol exit the bloodstream?

It is estimated that between 90% and 98% of all alcohol that enters the body is metabolized and absorbed. The remaining alcohol is then expelled from the body through sweat, urine, vomit, and feces.
