Question

which of the following is not a factor that affects absorption rate?
alcohol content of the drink
speed of drinking
individual metabolism
personal tolerance

Explanation:

To determine which is not a factor affecting absorption rate:

• Alcohol content of the drink affects how much alcohol is available to be absorbed.
• Speed of drinking influences the rate at which alcohol enters the system for absorption.
• Individual metabolism affects how quickly the body processes (and thus absorbs) alcohol.
• Personal tolerance relates to how one responds to alcohol effects, not the rate of absorption. So personal tolerance is not a factor affecting absorption rate.

Answer:

D. Personal tolerance
