Through which organ is some consumed alcohol absorbed into the body?

Heart
Stomach
Liver
Kidneys

The correct answer is: Liver

The absorption of alcohol into the body primarily occurs through the stomach and small intestine. Once consumed, alcohol enters the bloodstream through the lining of these organs. Although the liver plays a crucial role in metabolizing and processing alcohol, it is not the organ through which alcohol is initially absorbed. The stomach absorbs a small percentage of alcohol directly, but the majority of absorption happens in the small intestine before the blood carries it to the liver for processing. Therefore, while the liver is essential for metabolizing alcohol, it is not the correct choice in this context when specifically referring to absorption. The correct organ for the initial absorption of consumed alcohol is the stomach.
