Women are generally smaller than men, and they produce less of the enzyme that breaks down alcohol. For those reasons, most women will have a higher BAC than the average male if they both drink the same amount of alcohol.
Women often reach higher blood alcohol concentration (BAC) levels than men due to physiological differences. They typically have a higher percentage of body fat and lower water content, which affects alcohol distribution in the body. Additionally, women may metabolize alcohol more slowly due to differences in enzyme activity, leading to increased BAC levels after consuming the same amount of alcohol as men. Hormonal fluctuations can also influence alcohol metabolism in women.
Blood alcohol content(BAC) is affected primarily by the size of the person drinking. So me being 6' 5" can drink more before my BAC increases whereas some one who is 5' 5" BAC would increase more rapidly. So seeing as most women are smaller then men can theoretically drink more wih out their BAC skyrocketing.
Less of an enzyme that helps metabolize alcohol and a higher proportion of fat, which concentrates alcohol in the bloodstream.
no
Indirectly. Blood alcohol content (BAC) is always dependent on how much you drink. However, women do not produce as much of the enzyme that metabolizes alcohol in the liver. That means that their BAC will become higher and remain high longer than a male for a given amount of drinking, as the liver will not be able to remove it as efficiently.This also means that women who drink heavily tend to develop advanced alcoholism sooner than men, and die sooner if they continue to drink.
Not that I am aware of. The blood alcohol levels would be the same percentage, but men can typically drink more alcohol (even at the same age and weight and consumption rate) than women because women typically have a lower water content in their blood, so the BAC percentage isn't different, but women's BAC can rise faster.
true or false?
It varies depending on state law in the US.
No, a man and woman would typically not have the same blood alcohol concentration (BAC) even if they weighed the same. This difference is largely due to physiological factors, such as body composition and metabolism. Women generally have a higher percentage of body fat and lower percentage of water compared to men, leading to a higher BAC when consuming the same amount of alcohol. Additionally, hormonal and enzymatic differences can also influence alcohol absorption and metabolism.
Todd's BAC will be higher than Hector's

Blood Alcohol Content : the higher it is, the sooner you die.
