Explanation:

1. Alcohol poisoning occurs when a person consumes a large amount of alcohol in a short time. Alcohol is a depressant, so it won't lead to better focus or more energy. Muscles are not strengthened by alcohol consumption.
2. BAC is a well - known abbreviation for Blood Alcohol Content.
3. The legal drinking age is set to 21 to protect the developing brains and bodies of teens. Alcohol is not made more expensive by this age limit, and it's not about helping teens fit in.
4. The liver is the organ most affected by heavy drinking as it is responsible for metabolizing alcohol. While other organs like the stomach, lungs, and brain can be affected, the liver is the primary organ for alcohol metabolism.
