Abstract

 We completed a research project on the concentration of alcohol in the GI tract and the bloodstream. We mathematically presented the concentration in the GI tract and the bloodstream, where the models were solved analytically and some pertinent entry parameters were obtained.


 Numerical simulation was carried out using Wolfram Mathematica, powerful computational software, and numerical and graphical results were obtained by varying the impact of the relevant parameters on the various concentrations.


 The results show that increasing the rate of alcohol movement in the GI tract increases alcohol concentration in the GI tract, increasing the rate of alcohol movement in the GI tract increases alcohol concentration in the bloodstream, and increasing the rate of alcohol movement in the bloodstream increases alcohol concentration in the bloodstream. However, the alcohol concentration in the bloodstream is greater than that in the GI tract, and the alcohol concentration in the bloodstream decreases as the alcohol rate in the bloodstream increases. As alcohol consumption increased, so did alcohol concentrations in the bloodstream and gastrointestinal tract.


 Finally, we were able to use mathematics to represent the movement of alcohol in the GI tract and bloodstream, as well as its impact on the human body.
