Correct answer

  • CNo, solo retrasa la absorción del alcohol.No, it only delays the absorption of alcohol.
Explanation

Eating or drinking water does not remove alcohol from the blood: it only delays its absorption, so the level rises more slowly but can reach the same point. Alcohol is eliminated slowly by the liver, and the limits in Article 20 of the RGC are measured in blood or in exhaled air.
