multiple choice
most alcohol is metabolized in the stomach.
alcohol that is not immediately metabolized circulates throughout the body.
about 30 percent of alcohol is excreted in the breath, urine, and skin pores.
everyone has the same level of alcohol dehydrogenase in their bodies.

Explanation:

• Alcohol is metabolized mainly in the liver, not the stomach. So the first option is wrong.
• Only about 5 - 10% of alcohol is excreted in breath, urine, and skin pores. So the third option is wrong.
• Different people have different levels of alcohol dehydrogenase. So the fourth option is wrong.
• Alcohol that is not immediately metabolized does circulate throughout the body.

Answer:

Alcohol that is not immediately metabolized circulates throughout the body.
