Question

Which statement is true about blood alcohol concentration ?
A) The higher the blood alcohol concentration, the more severe the hangover will be. B) Drinking coffee and exercising will lower your blood alcohol concentration.
C) Blood alcohol concentration is affected by factors such as body size and gender.
D) None of the above

Answer 1

Answer:

Thus, considering the discussion below, we may conclude that,

A higher amount of alcohol in the blood may not cause a hangover due to the tolerance factor.
Thus, Statement A becomes incorrect in this respect.

Coffee contains caffeine and amphetamine, which are not known to cause any drug-drug interaction with alcohol. Exercising is a physical activity and it has no relation to blood alcohol concentration. However, both these may stimulate the CNS- a reverse effect of alcohol.
Thus, Statement B also becomes incorrect.

Thus, Statement C is the correct choice here.

Explanation:

What is blood alcohol concentration?

Blood alcohol concentration is the concentration of alcohol per cm³ or mL of blood.

Factors affecting blood alcohol concentration:

A number of factors can influence blood alcohol concentration. These are:

1. Age: As a person ages, his tolerance towards the amount of alcohol decreases due to a variable number of changes that occur with age.
2. Tolerance level: The amount of alcohol we drink influences and affects our tolerance towards alcohol.
   We can describe it as a statement- "The more you drink, the more you can drink". Thus, as people go on consuming alcohol, with time, their ability to tolerate the after-affects increases as their body gets used to that.
3. Gender: Men are more tolerant of alcohol than women and can comparatively drink more.
4. Body type: Each and every person has a 'unique' body type, e.g., short and fatty type, tall and thin, overweight, etc., which can influence blood alcohol concentration.
5. Metabolism: The body's metabolism can also affect this parameter.
6. Food & Drug interaction: A variety of food or drugs may interact with alcohol or its metabolic processes which can affect the blood alcohol concentration.
