Alcohol travels through the intestines to the liver and then on to the heart, brain, muscles and other tissues. This happens very quickly-within a few minutes. Usually, though not always, this has a pleasant effect. Your body canât store alcohol, so it breaks it down-your liver's job. The liver firstly changes alcohol into acetaldehyde (this is toxic), then into acetate (harmless), which is finally broken down into carbon dioxide and water.
