Why do you get drunk faster after a massage or working out?

I can think of a few reasons; 1. Usually after you work out and/or have a massage it has been longer since you have eaten and your stomach is emptier. Obviously drinking on an empty stomach is more immediately and dramatically intoxicating. 2. Working out dehydrates you and depletes electrolytes, which also makes you more susceptible to intoxication. 3. Both working-out and massages increase blood-flow and circulation, which can increase overall respiration, which in turn can cause your body to process the alcohol quicker.
