Is it true Before drinkers can even feel the effect of the alcohol on their systems it's already in the bloodstream?

Yes, it's true. When a person consumes alcohol, it is rapidly absorbed into the bloodstream through the stomach and small intestine. This process occurs quickly, often before the drinker can feel the effects, which can lead to underestimating how intoxicated they may become. Consequently, the effects of alcohol can be felt shortly after drinking, sometimes within minutes.
