multiple choice
alcohol is a _____ to the body and must be metabolized and excreted as soon as possible.

stimulant
sugar

Explanation:

The question asks for the classification of alcohol relative to the body, noting it needs metabolism and excretion. A stimulant is a substance that temporarily increases bodily functions; alcohol initially acts as a mild stimulant before being a depressant, and it requires metabolism/excretion. Other options are incorrect: alcohol is not a primary food source, not a sugar (it’s ethanol), and not iron.

B. stimulant
