Question

which factors influence how drinking and binge drinking affect a person? check all that apply. the persons body size the time of day the persons gender medications the person has taken whether the person drinks hard liquor or beer

Explanation:

• Body size: Larger body sizes generally mean more body water to dilute alcohol, affecting how alcohol impacts the person.
• Gender: Males and females often have different alcohol - processing capabilities due to differences in body composition (e.g., females typically have more body fat and less water relative to males on average) and enzyme levels involved in alcohol metabolism.
• Medications: Some medications can interact with alcohol. For example, certain antidepressants, painkillers, etc., can have enhanced or altered effects when combined with alcohol, and vice versa.
• Type of drink (hard liquor vs. beer): Hard liquor has a higher alcohol content per volume. For example, a standard shot of hard liquor (about 1.5 ounces) has a higher alcohol dose compared to a 12 - ounce beer (although beer consumption can also add up quickly if multiple servings are consumed).
• Time of day is not a direct physiological factor that influences how alcohol affects a person. While it might be associated with other factors (e.g., eating patterns around that time), the time itself does not directly impact alcohol metabolism or its effects on the body.

Answer:

the person’s body size, the person’s gender, medications the person has taken, whether the person drinks hard liquor or beer
