Alcohol

After exiting the stomache the contents enter the small intestine. However, the function of this organ is to absorb nutrients via a network of mucosal folds, villi and microvilli called the 'epithelium'. This has an enormous surface area and is a gut/blood interface - nutrients are taken straight into the blood stream (as well as drugs).

Alcohol is soluble in water and doesn't require fats or oils to delivery it to the necessary organs. So, straight from the stomache to the gut to the brain, at the speed of blood!
