    Study Notes

    Factors Affecting Blood Alcohol Concentration (BAC)

    • Body size and weight: A person's size and weight can influence their BAC, as a smaller person may be more affected by the same amount of alcohol compared to a larger person.
    • Gender: Gender can be a factor in BAC, as it may affect how the body processes alcohol.
    • Liver function: The liver plays a crucial role in breaking down alcohol, so any liver function issues can impact BAC.
    • Recent consumption of food: Eating food before or while drinking can slow down the absorption of alcohol into the bloodstream, which can affect BAC.
