13. BAC FactorsWeight Heavier people have more blood and other body fluids to dilute alcohol consumed. 0.04 0.08 220 lbs 110 lbs Time Spent Drinking 90% of the alcohol detoxified (burned up) is by the liver 10% is eliminated in breath, urine, and sweat Their BAC level will be lower than the BAC of a smaller person who drank the same volume of alcohol. On average, a person’s BAC is oxidized at a rate of 0.015 per hour NOTE: Alcohol is toxic to the liver and brain. Hence, the term intoxication denotes the toxic effect alcohol has on these organs.

14. BAC Factors Gender Women process alcohol at a slower rate than men. This is because they usually weigh less and produce less of the enzyme dehydrogenase needed by the liver to break down alcohol. Men also have a higher percentage of body fluids which dilutes the alcohol. Food The amount of food in your stomach does very little to reduce the effect alcohol has on the brain and liver. However, food does coat the lining of the stomach and slows absorption into the blood stream. Note: When alcohol is mixed with carbonated beverages the absorption rate is faster because gases are absorbed faster than liquids.
