Based on sex assigned at birth, if a man and a woman who weigh the same consume the same amount of alcohol: The man's BAC will likely be higher

The woman's BAC will likely be higher

Their BAC levels would be the same

None of the above

The correct answer is :The woman's BAC will likely be higher

When it comes to alcohol consumption women tend to get drunk or intoxicate faster and tend to have high amount of  BLOOD ALCOHOL CONCENTRATION (BAC) compare to men due to the following reasons:

•Alcohol are not easily broken down in women compare to men because women has   lesser enzymes which are catalyst in their body that help to  break down the alcohol they consume .

•Women has lower content of water in their body compare to  that of men which means that high amount of alcohol remain in women body leading to  them having higher BLOOD ALCOHOL CONCENTRATION (BAC).

• Alcohol can’t be absorbed in fat as women body fat is higher compare to men which body fat is lower which in turn increase women BLOOD ALCOHOL CONCENTRATION (BAC).

•Medication can as well  tend to lower the dilution  of alcohol in women Compared to men leading to higher BLOOD ALCOHOL CONCENTRATION (BAC) in women .

Therefore if a man and a woman who weigh the same consume the same amount of alcohol: THE WOMAN'S BAC WILL LIKELY BE HIGHER.

If a couple (male and female) who weigh the same and are the same age, drink the same amount of alcohol, the woman's BAC will likely be higher.

When alcohol is consumed, it enters the digestive tract and is metabolized by the body. However, this process is not the same for all people.

This is because when alcohol enters the stomach, it is metabolized by the alcohol-dehydrogenase enzyme that transforms alcohol into acetaldehyde.

One difference between men and women is that women produce less alcohol dehydrogenase than men. Therefore, the metabolization of alcoholic beverages in the stomach of women is a slower process.
