   Ever wonder what’s going on inside your body after a couple beers? Besides the overwhelming need to shat, there’s a ton of different things that go into that buzzed feeling.
When you drink alcohol, roughly 20% is absorbed straight from your stomach into your bloodstream. The other 80% is taken up from your small intestine. This explains why eating before you drink can slow down the effects of alcohol, if your tummy is full of food, it’s harder for the alcohol to end up by the stomach walls, where it can be absorbed. It’s also why drinking on an empty stomach can have such a speedy effect, 20% of the alcohol gets STRAIGHT into your bloodstream, and straight to work.
Alcohol heads for the digestive system and because it's water soluble, gets into the water in the bloodstream. Because ethanol, to a certain extent, can move through lipids, it can pass through cell membranes. Between that and the bloodstream, it can go pretty much anywhere. It spreads through the muscles, and is exuded –unmetabolized and whole – through the skin. It gets into the heart. It even takes a walk through the brain, and this is the secret of its powers.
Once there, alcohol acts on a certain part of the brain, the nucleus accumbens. This area is a midpoint between the reward center of a brain and the parts that make associations and memories. Alcohol causes a bunch of dopamine to be released in the nucleus accumbens, hot-wiring the system. It makes people feel good.

So that’s how alcohol affects your body, it heads to your brain, mimics your molecular postmen, and in doing so inhibits your ability to do lots of things you can normally do perfectly well, like stand up straight, not cry in public, and know when it is appropriate to shake your booty.
