Question

The elimination of alcohol from body is chiefly accomplished by

• A. Skin
• B. Lungs
• C. Kidneys
• D. Oxidation

Answer 1

The correct option is D Oxidation

Alcohol rapidly enters the bloodstream after absorption in the stomach and small intestine. Increased levels of alcohol in the blood are followed by a rise in alcohol oxidation (breakdown) and removal from the body. Approximately 90% of alcohol is oxidised in the liver. Alcohol is also excreted by the kidneys in urine (5%) or exhaled from the lungs (5%).
So, the correct answer is option D.
