The following can affect BAC and intoxication; therefore, always consider whether the person appears to be intoxicated.
Gender
On average it takes a woman’s body longer to metabolize one drink than the average male. It may take a man 1.5 hours, and a woman 2.5 hours to metabolize one drink.
Body weight and type
In general, the more a person weighs the more alcohol they can consume before becoming intoxicated. Remember this is just an estimate and other factors may determine the actual level of intoxication.
Muscle/fat ratio
Body fat does not absorb alcohol. Instead it forces the alcohol to remain in the bloodstream until the liver can break it down. Because of this, a more muscular person would have a lower BAC compared to a person with more fat.
