Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The proportion of body fat is a major factor in determining individual differences in BAC after drinking alcohol. Alcohol is water-soluble and is distributed into the water-rich tissues in the body. Fat cells contain less water than lean tissue and therefore, alcohol is not as diluted in the body of individuals with higher body fat percentage. As a result, individuals with higher body fat percentages experience higher BAC levels after consuming the same amount of alcohol as someone with a lower body fat percentage.
