to my undstnding, i beliv blood and water moves (biological - Transportation) together so there's every tendency for alcohol to mix with water and go to the brain. the bad work of alcohol starts from the vein before the brain. Alcohol is a fermented chemical, therefore, it is dangerous for the brain

Medically, someone drank alcohol last 2months will still have some content of alcohol when he's been tested today

I used to drink but alchool don't affect your brain. At higher level it may distort your vision but not your thinking. While I will not encourage its consumption the truth about it should be known

i HIGHLY doubt the above in bold.
through a blood test or breathalyzer, the alcohol would have been completely gone from that person's system within 24/36hrs . how fast it will be gone depend on how healthy your liver is, your metabolism and how much that person drank. a healthy person's metabolism breaks down about 1 drink of alcohol per hr (1 beer/small shot etc)

btw: what gets you drunk on an empty stomach, might only get you tipsy if you had a full stomach before drinking, so people should have a full meal before boozing (unless your only priority while drinking is to get smashed!). although the alcohol is still in your system, the full stomach lessen the effect of alcohol on your system.

Alcohol and drugs both enter the blood stream and are circulate throughout the body eventually getting to the brain.

When alcohol and drugs reach the brain they alter brain function in different ways. For alcohol as intoxication levels rise the first change is increased blood flow and sweating. Next is increased endorphin production making you feel happy. Next effect is eyesight and reflexes, at this point you become visible drunk what precedes this is an impact to the speech centers of the brain slurring speech.

Whitney Houston most likely died as a result of a combination of prescription drugs and alcohol.

Drink responsibly, alcohol can kill.
