People at higher risk for anesthetic overdose or other anesthesia-related complications include people with a slowed metabolism (older adults generally have slower metabolism than younger adults),those with kidney or liver impairments,and those with mutations of the RYR1 gene.Drinking a 6-pack of beer per day possibly indicates some liver disease; a creatinine of 3.8 is high,indicating renal disease; and the genetic mutation increases the chance of malignant hyperthermia.Taking birth control pills is not a risk factor.
