Which describes the correct comparison of the BAC for Todd, a large-build male who has 3 beers in one hour and the BAC for Hector, a large-build male who has 3 beers in two hours?

Question

Todd’s BAC will be the same as Hector’s.

Todd’s BAC will be too high to measure.

Todd’s BAC will be lower than Hector’s.

Todd’s BAC will be higher than Hector’s.

Answer 1

Todd's BAC will be higher than Hector’s.

This is because Todd consumes 3 beers in one hour, while Hector spreads the same amount of alcohol over two hours. Generally, a shorter time frame for consumption results in a higher Blood Alcohol Concentration (BAC), because the body has less time to metabolize the alcohol.
