True or False: Alcohol absorption is faster when a person is well-hydrated.

The correct assertion is that alcohol absorption is not faster when a person is well-hydrated; therefore, the statement is false. Alcohol absorption primarily occurs in the stomach and small intestine, where the presence or absence of food plays a more significant role in the rate at which alcohol enters the bloodstream.

When a person is well-hydrated, it can actually slow down the absorption of alcohol. This is because hydration dilutes the concentration of alcohol in the stomach and may facilitate the digestive process, causing a more gradual absorption. Additionally, other factors, such as the presence of food in the stomach, can impact the overall absorption rate, illustrating that hydration alone does not determine how quickly alcohol enters circulation.

The other choices suggest various conditions or scenarios where absorption might be impacted, but none of them accurately capture the relationship between hydration and alcohol absorption as the question presumes.
