Actually, it's a fact that you'll get drunk faster when alcohol enters through your butt. If it took you just a can of beer to get drunk, and you poured it all through your anus, you would feel it quicker then if you took the same amount at the same rate through your mouth.

Fair enough, I accept that the large intestine might be a more efficient absorber of alcohol and so you could get drunk faster.

I'm not exactly sure what all the liver has to do with alcohol, but I know that it does act as a filter to help prevent alcohol poisoning. And when it's coming from your butt and avoiding the liver, there's nothing there to even help prevent it. You're just taking straight alcohol into your bloodstream.

The liver doesn't filter alcohol and simply absorbing alcohol in your intestine doesn't avoid the liver at all. You can absorb nutrients anywhere in your GI tract and it all ends up in the same place: the blood.

Oh, gotcha. Then I was indeed wrong about the liver, lol.
