QUESTION: I would like to know how alcohol is transported in the blood. Or what the reaction is between alcohol and blood.

Ilona W.

ANSWER: The blood plasma, which is 90% water, distributes the alcohol throughout the body and carries it, mainly via the portal artery, to the liver, where 92% to 98% is then metabolized. Part from a diluting effect there is no interaction between blood plasma and alcohol.
