Beverage alcohol is formed through fermentation of products of corn, potato mashes, fruit juices, beet and sugar cane molasses. Fermentation is an enzymatically controlled anaerobic transformation of an organic compound. Conversion of sugars to ethanol by microscopic yeasts in the absence of o. Absorption into the blood occurs through ingestion. Amount absorbed in the small intestine (80%) More alcohol will result in increased bac. Gastric emptying: faster gastric emptying, more rapid absorption. Drugs may also modify physiological factors regulating gastric emptying. Ethanol diffuses throughout the body and is uniformly distributed. Forensics only cares how much alcohol is in one"s brain tissue. Taken not from the brain, but tested through the blood. The front of the brain is affected first and works its way back. The more you drink, the more of your brain is impaired.
