We're new to the area and thought that our only supermarket option was the Hy Vee on 61. I'm really glad I bothered to ...Google other options in the area and found Midtown. I try to support local business wherever possible and was very pleased with my first visit to Midtown.
Share to: The liver has the primary responsibility for eliminating alcohol. 5% is eliminated by the kidneys in urine. Another 5% is exhaled by the lungs, which is why breathalyzer devicâ¦es detect alcohol use. The rest is broken down into acetic acid by the liver.
The liver is responsible for the elimination - through metabolism - of 95% of ingested alcohol from the body. The remainder of the alcohol is eliminated through excretion of alcohol in breath, urine, sweat, feces, milk and saliva. The body uses several different metabolic pathways in its oxidation of alcohol to acetaldehyde to acetic acid to carbon dioxide and water. Healthy people metabolize alcohol at a fairly consistent rate. As a rule of thumb, a person will eliminate one average drink or .5 oz (15 ml) of alcohol per hour. Several factors influence this rate. The rate of elimination tends to be higher when the blood alcohol concentration in the body is very high. Also chronic alcoholics may (depending on liver health) metabolize alcohol at a significantly higher rate than the average. Finally, the body's ability to metabolize alcohol quickly tend to diminish with age.
