Does water you drink go into the bloodstream?

No, water you drink does not directly go into the bloodstream. When you drink water, it travels down the esophagus and into the stomach. The stomach muscles then churn the water, mixing it with digestive enzymes. The mixture then moves into the small intestine, where the nutrients are absorbed into the bloodstream. Any remaining water is absorbed in the large intestine, and any waste products are eventually eliminated from the body.

The process of water absorption is essential for maintaining the body's fluid balance. When you drink water, your body uses it to replace fluids that are lost through sweating, urination, and breathing. Water also helps to transport nutrients and oxygen to cells, and it helps to regulate body temperature.
