Etanool satub organismi peamiselt seedetrakti kaudu, võimalik on ka selle sattumine organismi aurude sissehingamise teel. Seedetraktist imendub etanool kiiresti ja täielikult, ~60% tarbitud etanoolist on verre imendunud ühe tunniga, 1,5 tunni jooksul on imendunud ~90%. Imendumine aeglustub, kui tarvitada etanooli koos toiduga.
Ethanol, also called alcohol, ethyl alcohol and grain alcohol, is a clear, colorless liquid and an ingredient in alcoholic beverages like beer, wine or brandy.
