I try to understand a situation which can be explained by the verb "enter." I am searching for another ways.

Original: "How alcohol enters the body." How can we say this sentence using another verb, retaning the meaning? Is it possible to use "absorb", "go into", or "pass" for this situation?

Thank you.

What you provided is a fragment. Can you provide a complete sentence or describe more of the context in which you want to use the above?

Would you please explain, why you think of "I am searching for another ways" is incorrect?

Thank you.

For a start, "another" is used with singular nouns.

If I would have said "I am searching for another way, then would it have been incorrect again?

Thank you.

It would have been grammatical but incomplete.
You could have said, e.g., I am searching for another way to express the following.

But by implication does not "I am searching for another way" convey the idea of "I am searching for another way to mean to say the original" ?

Thank you.

Again, the highlighted part is unnatural and unclear. You're beating a dead horse!

Instead, why don't you provide context/a full sentence as I asked you to do in post #3 above?

It could be understood that way or many other ways.

No, I don't think I am beating a dead horse because I note every correction provided by native speakers and I have fifteen of them and of course I take a backup of them and I refresh them. By this way I won't make those mistakes in the future again. I.e your corrections do not become waste.

Thank you.

1. "After absorption, the alcohol enters the bloodstream and dissolves in the water of the blood." [Original]
2. "After absorption, the alcohol is absorbed the bloodstream and dissolves in the water of the blood."
3. "After absorption, the alcohol goes into the bloodstream and dissolves in the water of the blood."
4. "After absorption, the alcohol pass to the bloodstream and dissolves in the water of the blood."

My sentences probably requires some modifications and purifications from mistakes as always.

Thank you.

Then what would be your idiomatic example which would retain the meaning of "enter" meaning as in the above.

Thank you.

I don't actually understand what you're trying to say.

How could you say the sentence, retaning the meaning of enter used in the sentence, i.e forming sentence with another word instead of "enter.", retaining the meaning of both enter and the sentence.

Thank you.

Use "goes into" or "gets into."

There's no such thing as "the water of the blood".
