Question: One shot of whiskey in the US is 44 ml and is absorbed by the average human within 1 hour. The small intestine accounts for ~75% of this absorption. Calculate the rate of absorption for a 1 cm^2 patch of small intestine assuming the total surface area of a human small intestine is typically 200 m^2. Describe the complications with this calculation, based on the anatomy of the GI tract in a human and one way you might experimentally determine this result.
