Question 2
Yes, this influences the onset and
intensity of alcohol's effect.
No, this does not influences the onset
and intensity of alcohol's effect.
Body size
The weather
Time of day
Rate of intake
Medicines
Food in the
stomach
Amount of alcohol
consumed
Age

Here's how the listed factors influence the onset and intensity of alcohol's effect:

Yes, this influences the onset and intensity of alcohol's effect:

  1. Body size - Larger body size generally can dilute alcohol more effectively than smaller body sizes.
  2. Rate of intake - Drinking alcohol quickly will intensify its effects compared to drinking slowly.
  3. Medicines - Certain medications can interact with alcohol, enhancing or diminishing its effects.
  4. Food in the stomach - Food can slow the absorption of alcohol into the bloodstream, affecting its onset and intensity.
  5. Amount of alcohol consumed - More alcohol typically leads to stronger effects.

No, this does not influence the onset and intensity of alcohol's effect:

  1. The weather - Weather itself does not have a direct effect on how alcohol influences the body.
  2. Time of day - While personal habits may impact drinking behavior, the actual time on the clock does not inherently influence alcohol's effects.
  3. Age - While age can influence various factors related to drinking (such as experience or health issues), it does not universally alter the body’s immediate response to alcohol for everyone.

Note: Age can play a role in how alcohol is metabolized, especially in younger or older individuals, but it’s not typically classified as a direct determinant of onset and intensity in a general context.
