Absorbtion of food by the body?

If you took a sugar pill with a value of say, 100 calories, the body would presumably break it down and absorb the whole thing. What if you took the pill and also drank a pint of water? Would the body still absrb the whole thing or would some of the sugar escape unprocesed in urine? How about a quart? How efficient is the digestive system at absorbing the dissolved sugar?
