The Language of Shakespeare. The English language has changed a great deal over the last few hundred years, and it is still changing. Several words in use during Shakespeare's day either have different meanings today or have been nearly forgotten. Here is a list of some of the most common words in Shakespeare with which you might not be familiar. There is also a link to a printable version of this list at the bottom of the page.

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. Find out more about how alcohol can effect you from our interactive male and female bodies. About 90-95% of alcohol consumed is broken down by the liver, 5-10% is excreted through urine, breath and sweat.Your bodyâs ability to process alcohol depends on your age, weight and sex.
