Answer: faster it will be absorbed.

Step-by-step explanation:

The alcohol can be absorbed by the body more quickly of the concentration of alcohol in the drink lies in between 10-30%. If the alcoholic concentration in the drink lies below 10% then the rate of absorption will slow down.

The maximum rate of alcohol absorption is achieved when the concentration of alcohol is 20-25% by volume typically in an empty stomach. The rate of alcoholic absorption slows down when the alcohol is consumed with food. The enzyme alcohol dehydrogenase is responsible for the metabolism of alcohol into acetaldehyde, which is eliminated by the kidney through the process of blood filtration.
