Question

which factor will increase alcohol absorption and peak blood alcohol concentration?
multiple choice
lower percent body fat
consumption of drinks with carbonation
male gender
consumption of food with alcohol

Explanation:

• Lower percent body fat: Generally, lower body fat doesn't directly increase alcohol absorption.
• Consumption of drinks with carbonation: Carbonation can speed up the passage of alcohol from the stomach to the small intestine, where most alcohol absorption occurs, thus increasing absorption and peak blood alcohol concentration.
• Male gender: Males and females have different alcohol - processing mechanisms, but gender itself (without other factors like body composition etc.) is not a direct factor in increasing absorption in the way carbonation is.
• Consumption of food with alcohol: Food can slow down alcohol absorption as it can delay the emptying of the stomach.

Answer:

consumption of drinks with carbonation
