Therefore the larger, heavier person may have a lower BAC even when drinking the same amount as a smaller person.

Women have a greater BAL than men of the same weight because women have less __________.
A.) blood
B.) muscle mass
C.) alcohol dehydrogenase
D.) body fat

Get the Correct ANSWER

alcohol dehydrogenase

Explanation: Women have less alcohol dehydrogenase (enzyme which breaks down alcohol), and therefore up to 30% more alcohol may be absorbed into their bloodstream. Because of this, women usually reach a higher BAC than men after consuming the same amount of alcohol. If a man and woman of equal weight drank the same beverage, the woman’s BAC would be higher.

True or False: Your sex (gender) has no impact on your BAC level.
A.) TRUE
B.) FALSE

Get the Correct ANSWER

FALSE

Explanation: Your sex (gender) has impact on your BAC level. Alcohol does not affect men and women equally. Research indicates that alcohol’s effects on females tend to be stronger and last longer. This is because women produce a smaller amount of alcohol dehydrogenase, an enzyme that breaks down alcohol in the stomach. As a result, women reach a peak BAC about 20 percent higher than men do. As well Body Weight too affects the percentage of alcohol in your blood. A heavier person has more body fluids with which the alcohol will mix, and thus will have a lower BAC.
