Describe the behavioral & biological factors that affect BAC.
How much & how quickly you drink - Drink more than your body can metabolize What you drink - Water in beer & wine buffer alcohol vs shots of hard liquor - Mixer used -->Water & fruit juice slows absorption -->Carbon dioxide in soda increases absorption (champagne & beer) - Temperature of drink -->Warm drinks absorbed faster Your sex - Women have a higher BAC than men if consume equal amounts - Less blood volume - higher percentage of body fat (men more muscle so more water) - women produce less alcohol dehydrogenase Your age - Sensitivity to alcohol increases as you age Your weight - Lower weight, less blood & water to dilute alcohol Your physical condition - More sensitive to alcohol when stressed and fatigue Food intake - Food in stomach slows absorption - Especially fat and protein Medications - Prevent alcohol dehydrogenase from breaking down alcohol - Aspirin, other OTCs, birth control pills
