Which of the following individuals would likely have a higher BAC after consuming the same amount of alcohol?

A person with more fat would likely have a higher Blood Alcohol Concentration (BAC) after consuming the same amount of alcohol compared to others. This is because body composition plays a significant role in how alcohol is distributed in the body.

Fat tissue does not absorb alcohol as readily as water does. This means that individuals with a higher percentage of body fat will have a smaller volume of blood and water in which the alcohol can be diluted. Consequently, the alcohol concentration in the blood of a person with more fat will be higher, resulting in a higher BAC.

In contrast, individuals with more muscle mass tend to have a higher total body water percentage, which can dilute the alcohol more effectively, leading to a lower BAC. Similarly, a person with more water in their body generally would also experience a lower BAC due to the greater capacity for dilution. While someone with lower alcohol tolerance may react differently to alcohol, it does not necessarily affect the BAC measurement directly, as tolerance usually pertains to how the body metabolizes alcohol rather than the concentration present in the bloodstream immediately after consumption.
