• Why do some people react differently to alcohol than others? Individual reactions to alcohol vary, and are influenced by many factors; such as: Age Gender Race or ethnicity Physical condition (weight, fitness level, etc) Amount of food consumed before drinking How quickly the alcohol was consumed Use of drugs or prescription medicines Family history of alcohol problems.
• How does alcohol affect a person? Alcohol affects every organ in the body. It is a central nervous system depressant that is rapidly absorbed from the stomach and small intestine into the bloodstream. Alcohol is metabolized in the liver by enzymes; however, the liver can only metabolize a small amount of alcohol at a time, leaving the excess alcohol to circulate throughout the body. The intensity of the effect of alcohol on the body is directly related to the amount consumed.
• An estimated 17 percent of 9th grade girls report having had five or more alcoholic drinks on a single occasion during the previous month.
• Males who consume alcohol and have a predisposition for physical violence toward their female partners are more likely to be violent on the days they drink alcohol.
