Can alcohol enter the blood stream via skin or open wound?

Alcohol can be absorbed through the skin, but the rate is generally very low and not significant enough to cause intoxication. In the case of an open wound, alcohol can enter the bloodstream more readily, especially if the wound is large or deep. However, the absorption rate and effects would still depend on various factors, including the concentration of alcohol and the size of the wound. Overall, while possible, systemic absorption through skin or wounds is not a common route for achieving intoxication.
