In what form is alcohol generally administered?

1. Gas

2. Solid

3. Liquid

4. Powder

The correct answer is: Liquid

Alcohol is generally administered in liquid form, which is the most common and practical way to consume it. This form allows for various methods of ingestion, such as drinking or dosing in beverages, which can be easily measured in terms of volume (e.g., ounces or milliliters). The liquid form of alcohol effectively facilitates the absorption of ethanol into the bloodstream, making it suitable for both recreational and medicinal purposes. Additionally, many alcoholic beverages, like beer, wine, and spirits, naturally exist in liquid form, further reinforcing this method of administration. Other forms, such as gas, solid, and powder, are not typical for alcohol consumption and do not support the same efficacy or ease of use as liquids do.
