Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Heavy consumption of alcohol can saturate the liver's metabolic capacity, leading to elimination through a zero-order process (elimination at a constant rate), which means that alcohol can be eliminated in half-lives. This is not typically seen with light or moderate alcohol consumption, or when alcohol is consumed on a full or empty stomach.
