That's because there's less water in your blood to dilute the alcohol. As a result, the amount of booze in your blood is more concentrated, so it packs a greater punch.

It takes about an hour for your liver to break down the amount of alcohol in a standard alcoholic drink (one beer, one glass of wine, or one shot). If you drink alcohol faster than your liver can break it down, your blood alcohol level rises and you start feeling drunk.

In the case of those doing longer workouts of an hour or more, some carbohydrate containing drink may be more beneficial. However, drinking ice-cold water right after exercising may cause the digestive system and the internal organs to receive a shock, causing chronic pain in the stomach.

During exercise, your heart typically beats faster so that more blood gets out to your body. Your heart can also increase its stroke volume by pumping more forcefully or increasing the amount of blood that fills the left ventricle before it pumps.

Do you get drunk faster when hungover? Depends on you blood alcohol level at the time. From experience I get drunk faster but plateau quicker because my body is already use to processing the alcohol.

The more you drink and the faster you drink; the more alcohol enters your bloodstream. BAC increases much faster when drinking on an empty stomach. Eating food before as well as while drinking will slow absorption and moderate your BAC.

The liver roughly processes one ounce of alcohol per hour. If you drink any faster than one beer an hour you can get drunk. Especially if you drink 2 3 4 5 beer in a hour.

When you are exercising, your muscles need extra oxygen—some three times as much as resting muscles. This need means that your heart starts pumping faster, which makes for a quicker pulse.

When you're sick with any bug, you're more likely to also be dehydrated—which can cause your blood alcohol concentration (BAC) to rise faster, says Swartzwelder. That's because there's less water in your blood to dilute the alcohol.

Once alcohol is in the bloodstream, it can only be eliminated by the enzyme alcohol dehydrogenase, sweat, urine, and breath. Drinking water and sleeping will not speed up the process. Coffee, energy drinks, and a cold shower will not sober you up faster.

Inhaling alcohol vapor causes a rapid and intense "high". Absorption through the lungs provides almost instant delivery of the alcohol to the bloodstream and the brain; the effects of the alcohol are felt very quickly. Small amounts of inhaled alcohol may make a person much more drunk than drinking the alcohol instead.

Sprinting also promotes fat loss and increases your metabolic rate for several days after the workout, a phenomenon known as the excess post-exercise oxygen consumption (EPOC) effect. EPOC -- also known as "afterburn" -- allows you to continue burning calories long after the workout is over.

Beer itself contains a small amount of carbohydrates and electrolytes, he says. It's not enough to do your body any good after exercise, but researchers like Desbrow have been experimenting with ways to reformulate beer so it'll have the properties of a sports drink without the dehydrating effects of alcohol.

Research shows that blood alcohol levels peak higher and faster and take longer to return to normal due to altered metabolism after gastric bypass surgery. In addition, many post-surgical patients consume less food when they're drinking alcohol, which contributes to expedited absorption of alcohol in the blood stream.

You Skip the Gym But if you've been MIA from the gym over the past few months, you may have lost some of your muscle. The alcohol that would otherwise hang out in your bulging biceps is now heading straight for your blood stream, automatically increasing your BAC, says Swartzwelder.

Alcohol is mostly broken down by the liver, but some metabolizes in the brain — which is why we get drunk. CYP2E1 carries instructions for the enzyme that breaks down alcohol in the brain, telling it to work faster. That makes people feel drunk faster.

Although close in alcohol content, wine enters the bloodstream faster and will get you more drunk over the same amount of time as beer. In terms of a hangover, there is no clear winner. Both in excess will lead to a rough next morning, but they are equal as far as effects in general.
