13. 13 End of Show Body size A smaller person will have a higher BAC than a larger person because the alcohol is concentrated in a smaller body mass. Empty stomach Someone with an empty stomach will reach a higher BAC sooner than someone who has just eaten a meal. Food in the stomach slows down the rate at which alcohol passes into the bloodstream. Body fat People with a lot of body fat tend to have a higher BAC. Alcohol is not absorbed into fatty tissue, so the alcohol is concentrated in a smaller body mass. Sex After consuming the same amount of alcohol, a female will almost always have a higher BAC than a male. http://www.mydr.com.au/addictions/blood-alcohol-concentration-bac
