Final Answer :
B
Explanation :
Eating food while consuming alcohol can lower the peak blood alcohol concentration (BAC) because the food slows down the absorption of alcohol. This can help to reduce the intensity of the effects of the alcohol you consume. However, it does not prevent the absorption of alcohol altogether.
