Ethanol absorption after gastric operations, and in the coeliac syndrome

P B Cotton et al. Postgrad Med J. 1973 Jan.

Abstract

Rapid absorption of whisky has been demonstrated in subjects who had undergone partial gastrectomy or vagotomy and pyloroplasty. Delayed absorption occurred in patients with the coeliac syndrome. These facts are of social and possibly legal significance.
