What is the effect of alcohol on an empty or full stomach?

A full stomach slows down the passage of alcohol into the large intestine and may modify its absorption. If you drink after eating, the effects of alcohol will take longer to appear and blood alcohol concentrations will not be as high as those reached when you drink on an empty stomach. On the other hand, blood alcohol concentrations may take longer to reach zero when you drink with or after eating food.
