Near about 80% of alcohol is being absorbed in the small intestine whereas, 20% of alcohol already gets absorbed in the stomach before reaching further to the small intestine.The alcohol is carried out by the blood, so it reaches to the heart, lungs, as well as brain comparatively equal to all the organs.

The metabolism of the alcohol takes place in the liver. The chemical enzymes present in the liver, breaks down the other chemical and metabolize the alcohol.The alcohol is then secreated by the liver and most of the amount unchanged are secreated through urine, sweat as well as breathe.
