13. LIVER DISEASE..... When you drink alcohol, it is absorbed into the bloodstream from the stomach All blood from the stomach and intestines first goes through the liver before circulating around the whole body. So, the highest concentration of alcohol is in the blood flowing through the liver The liver cells can metabolise only a certain amount of alcohol per hour. So, if you drink alcohol faster than your liver can deal with it, the level of alcohol in your bloodstream rises. Repetitive heavy drinking can lead to inflammation of the liver and if drinking continues liver failure may occur.
