The reason why intoxicated people drink coffee is not to slow the absorption of alcohol into the body, but to use caffeine as a stimulant, to counteract the depressant effect of alcohol. One drug fights against the other. But no, coffee does not slow the rate of alcohol absorption into the bloodstream.

Eating before and while drinking a accelerates the peak blood alcohol concentration b lowers peak blood alcohol concentration c transfers absorption of alcohol to the small intestine d prevent?
Eating before and while drinking will slow down the absorption of alcohol, so it will lower the peak blood alcohol concentration.
What affects how fast alcohol is absorbed into the body?
Alcohol is absorbed primarily in the intestines. Therefore, keeping alcohol in the stomach (by eating food) slows its release into the intestines and therefore, its absorption into the blood stream.
Why does eating a meal before drinking reduce the effects of alcohol?
Many people believe that eating before drinking will allow them to drink more without becoming intoxicated. Although food in the stomach will slow the absorption of alcohol to a degree, at the end of the day you'll be just as intoxicated. It will just take a little longer.

What tends to speed up the absorption of alcohol fruit punch water or carbonated beverages?
These do not speed up the absorption of alcohol. The typical body processes alcohol at the rate of 1 unit per hour. There is no quick fix for absorption. Although I'm not sure about the effect of fruit punch on alcohol absorption, carbonated beverages DO increase alcohol absorption, I think the previous answer is confusing alcohol absorption with alcohol metabolism. In particular the increased temperature of your body causes the CO2 gas to come out of solution and speeds up alcohol assimilation into the blood stream. Assuming the same amount of alcohol as a non-carbonated beverage, the increased speed of assimilation will increase the rate at which alcohol can go to your body's tissues (with the exception of fat), ALTHOUGH this will not change the rate of your liver's alcohol metabolism.
