Unlike foods, alcohol does not have to be slowly digested. The speed of alcohol assimilation in the body affects the rate at which one becomes inebriated. As a person drinks faster than the alcohol can be eliminated, the drug accumulates in the body, resulting in higher and higher levels of alcohol in the blood.
