Isn't there also a connection with people who have gastric bypass surgery who turn into "instant alcoholics" for the same reason: Booze straight into the intestines?

QuoteOk. Thanks. Interesting analysis.
That is, until I read this.QuoteSince the primary goal of drinking is to get ethanol nto the bloodstream, it makes some sense to cut to the chase and avoid having to taste the wretched stuff in the first place.
Drink better booze.
Nah, the stuff didn't agree with me so I said to hell with it. Last time I touched it, Reagan was President.
Anyhow, the fact that I was never a fan of the taste was not a major factor.

Yup - it makes for a cheap date.

QuoteAnd how would the descending colon hold that much fluid for more than a second or two?
The intestines are incredible absorption machines. Think of how quickly you can get dehydrated when you have diarrhea. Just that amount of fluid NOT going into your bloodstream will severely dehydrate you. (Conversely, if you are constipated, you should consume a lot more fluids -- your body is trying to get all the fluid it can from the matter still transiting your intestines).
The other "benefit" from ingesting alcohol in this manner is that it bypasses the stomach, thereby saving the stomach lining.

Whoops, already discussed. Need to read through the thread before responding.
