Does gender effect the amount of alcohol in the blood?

Answer 1

Indirectly. Blood alcohol content (BAC) is always dependent on how much you drink. However, women do not produce as much of the enzyme that metabolizes alcohol in the liver. That means that their BAC will become higher and remain high longer than a male for a given amount of drinking, as the liver will not be able to remove it as efficiently.

This also means that women who drink heavily tend to develop advanced Alcoholism sooner than men, and die sooner if they continue to drink.

Answer 2

Yes, gender can affect the amount of alcohol in the blood. Generally, women tend to have a higher blood alcohol concentration (BAC) than men after consuming the same amount of alcohol due to differences in body composition and metabolism. Women typically have a higher proportion of body fat and lower levels of water, leading to slower alcohol metabolism and higher BAC levels.
