Women of the same height and weight as men tend to become intoxicated faster when consuming the same amount of alcohol over the same length of time. That's because they have a higher proportion of fat (which doesn't absorb alcohol, thus concentrating it in the blood), less of a stomach enzyme (dehydrogenase) that helps metabolize alcohol, and because of the action of female hormones.

Women tend to reach higher BAC levels more quickly than men because?
Blood alcohol content(BAC) is affected primarily by the size of the person drinking. So me being 6' 5" can drink more before my BAC increases whereas some one who is 5' 5" BAC would increase more rapidly. So seeing as most women are smaller then men can theoretically drink more wih out their BAC skyrocketing.
Why do women tends to reach an higher BAC level than men?
Less of an enzyme that helps metabolize alcohol and a higher proportion of fat, which concentrates alcohol in the bloodstream.
Do women have a higher BAC?
Women are generally smaller than men, and they produce less of the enzyme that breaks down alcohol. For those reasons, most women will have a higher BAC than the average male if they both drink the same amount of alcohol.
Does a higher BAC give you energy?
no
What Men's bodies contain more than women so they can consume slightly more alcohol to reach the same BAC?
Males have higher amounts of the dehydrogenase enzyme, so males can eliminate alcohol faster. Men also have more water in their bodies than women so they can dilute alcohol faster.

Does gender effect the amount of alcohol in the blood?
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.
Are fully licensed male drivers allowed to have a higher BAC than fully licensed female drivers?
Not that I am aware of. The blood alcohol levels would be the same percentage, but men can typically drink more alcohol (even at the same age and weight and consumption rate) than women because women typically have a lower water content in their blood, so the BAC percentage isn't different, but women's BAC can rise faster.
Can the higher in alcohol content a drink is the higher BAC it will produce?
true or false?
Is BAC 74 possible?
A drinker would long be dead before 74% BAC could be achieved.
When are you considered impaired if your BAC is or higher.?
It varies depending on state law in the US.
