When a female and male both weigh 175 pounds and consume 2 Standard Drinks each, will they have the same BAC?

  1. True

  2. False

The correct answer is: False

The answer is correct because body composition and distribution of alcohol in the body affect blood alcohol concentration (BAC). While both individuals weigh the same, males and females metabolize alcohol differently due to physiological differences. Men typically have a higher percentage of body water compared to women, which means that alcohol is diluted more in men than in women. Consequently, the same amount of alcohol consumed by a male and a female can lead to different BAC levels. This fact demonstrates the importance of considering gender differences in alcohol metabolism, leading to the conclusion that they will not have the same BAC despite having identical weights and drinking the same number of standard drinks.
