Explanation
Weight significantly affects how alcohol is absorbed and processed in the body. People with lower body weight generally reach a higher blood alcohol concentration (BAC) after drinking the same amount as heavier individuals because they have less body water to dilute the alcohol. Besides weight, factors such as age, gender, physical condition, food intake, and medications can also influence blood alcohol levels and its effects.
