is the ratio of alcohol in the blood by body weight

Question 8

BAC (Blood alcohol concentration) is impacted by:

Answer 8

1. Body Weight
2. Percent body fat
3. Biological sex

Question 9

Body weigh (BAC):

Answer 9

a smaller person develops a higher BAC than a larger person after drinking the same amount of
alcohol.

Question 10

A smaller person has

BAC

Answer 10

less overall body tissue into which alcohol can be distributed.

Question 11

Percentage of body fat (BAC):

Answer 11

A person with a higher percentage of body fat will develop a higher BAC than a more muscular person of the same weight when they drink the same amount.

Question 12

Biological sex (BAC):

Answer 12

female are more susceptible to high BACs.

Females metabolize
less alcohol in the stomach than males do

Question 13

BAC: 0.01–0.05%

Answer 13

Relaxation; mild euphoria; reduced
inhibition; decreased alertness;
impaired motor coordination and
judgment.

Approximate time to metabolize:

Approximate time to metabolize: 3–6 hours

Question 15

Answer 15

Mood swings; aggression; staggering gait; impaired balance; slurred speech.

memory blackout.

Approximate time to metabolize: 10–20 hours

Produces feelings of intoxication

Question 22

Most alcohol is metabolized

Answer 22

in the liver

Question 23

Enzymes convert alcohol to

Answer 23

acetaldehyde then to acetate

Question 24

Variance in enzymes in individuals

Answer 24

may cause different reactions to alcohol consumption

Question 25

Chronic drinking causes the liver

Answer 25

to metabolize alcohol at a faster rate
