Alcohol Safety

Answer: B - False. A skinnier customer’s BAC will generally not be higher than that of a customer with more body fat.

It is a common misconception that fatter people get drunk more slowly than skinnier people. However, people with more body fat have lower amounts of water in their body than skinnier people, and this means the alcohol is not diluted as much. A skinnier person also tends to have a faster metabolism than a fatter person, meaning the alcohol leaves his or her system more quickly.
