Alcohol affects everyone in the same way

 

True/false?

Your size, weight, metabolism, sex as well as how and when you drink will all alter how alcohol affects you.

Drinking on an empty stomach or drinking fast, results in higher blood alcohol levels and these will also be affected by your size weight, health and age. Being very tired, ill or stressed may affect a person’s reaction to alcohol. Alcohol is a depressant and places stress on the body systems which may result in you being affected more by alcohol when tired or run down.
