When it comes to symbolizing freedom and the spirit of '76, I do think there's a better American flag. With all due respect to the stars and stripes, I prefer the yellow Gadsden flag with the coiled rattlesnake and the defiant Don't Tread on Me motto. The meaning of Old Glory can get mixed up with the rights and wrongs of the perpetually new-and-improved government. The meaning of Don't Tread on Me is unmistakable. There's also an interesting history behind this flag. And it's intertwined with one of American history's most interesting personalities, Ben Franklin.
True or false- alcohol can pass directly into the bloodstream from mouth or stomach. kgb answers Â» Health & Body Â» Health & Fitness Â» True or false- alcohol can pass directly into the bloodstream from mouth or stomach. Alcohol enters your bloodstream partly through the mucous membranes as you ingest it and it enters your stomach and esophagus. False.
Once alcohol is in the bloodstream, it can only be eliminated by the enzyme alcohol dehydrogenase, sweat, urine, and breath. Drinking water and sleeping will not speed up the process. Coffee, energy drinks, and a cold shower will not sober you up faster. These might make you feel more awake, but caffeine and cold showers will not pull alcohol out of the blood - and thus will not lower your BAC level.
