True or false: Drinking on an empty stomach results in the same amount of alcohol being absorbed directly into the blood as drinking on a full stomach.

Drinking on an empty stomach leads to faster alcohol absorption into the bloodstream compared to consuming alcohol on a full stomach. When there is food in the stomach, it acts as a barrier that slows down the rate at which alcohol passes into the small intestine, where it is primarily absorbed into the bloodstream. A full stomach helps to delay the onset of alcohol's effects, as it requires more time for the alcohol to be absorbed. Conversely, an empty stomach means there is less food to slow this process, resulting in a quicker and often more intense effect from the alcohol consumed. Therefore, it's accurate to state that drinking on an empty stomach does not result in the same absorption rate as drinking on a full stomach.
