How come men are allowed more units of alcohol than women?
It's not sexist but purely biological. Alcohol affects woman faster as they have a higher proportion of body fat than men. Fat cannot absorb alcohol so it is more concentrated in a woman's blood. Women have less of the stomach enzyme dehydrogenase that breaks down alcohol. A woman will absorb almost 30% more than a man her own size because of this. Also, more obviously, women are often shorter and lighter than men meaning a higher concentration of alcohol.

How does tolerance to alcohol affect BAC?
Tolerance to alcohol does not affect immediate measures of BAC. A tolerant person can have a much higher BAC without feeling the effects but according to the law they are more drunk than a person with a lower amount that is highly affected by alcohol. To be more specific, high tolerance essentially affects the level of habituation a person's neurons have adapted to alcohol and reduces the number of receptors that they have for alcohol. As BAC is a measure of immediate blood alcohol levels, this is not affected by levels of receptors in the brain.
Who will feel the affect of intoxication most quickly if each drink The same amount a 150 pound man a 100 pound woman a 185 pound woman or a 200 pound man?
The 100 pound woman would likely feel the effects of intoxication most quickly, as she has less body weight to distribute the alcohol. Alcohol affects individuals differently based on factors like weight, metabolism, and tolerance, but generally speaking, a smaller person will feel the effects more quickly than a larger person after consuming the same amount of alcohol.
