ALCOHOL PROCESS MAP

An assignment in my information design class was to visually explain a 10-step process. I wanted to demonstrate something involving anatomy, so I landed on how alcohol is consumed and processed by the body. Please note this was based on research (references below). The steps came out to being:

  1. Beverage is consumed via mouth

  2. Smells sensed by nose

  3. Beverage is swallowed

  4. Digestive system begins processing fluid

  5. Liver begins filtering

  6. Alcohol enters bloodstream, pumped via the heart

  7. Cerebellum (body coordination) is affected

  8. Eyesight is affected

  9. General brain cognition is affected

  10. Elimination
