True or False: The majority of alcohol is eliminated by the lungs.

The majority of alcohol is actually eliminated from the body through processes in the liver rather than through the lungs. When alcohol is consumed, it's metabolized primarily in the liver, where enzymes break it down into metabolites that can be expelled from the body. Only a small percentage of the alcohol (typically around 2-5%) is exhaled through the lungs, which is the basis for breath testing devices like the Intoxilyzer 8000.

While breath tests measure the amount of alcohol present in a person's breath, they are just a means of estimating blood alcohol concentration as the lungs do play a role in the excretion of alcohol in vaporized form. Nonetheless, the statement suggesting that the majority of alcohol is eliminated through the lungs is not accurate, making the claim false.
