According to the BBC video, one's ______________ tends to affect how quickly they become intoxicated.

• A. gender
• B. body weight
• C. water content
• D. All the above

Answer: (C)

When you drink, alcohol spreads through your body’s water. The more total body water a person has, the more the alcohol is diluted, so the blood alcohol concentration rises more slowly and intoxication arrives later. Conversely, someone with less body water will reach higher concentrations faster, leading to quicker intoxication. That direct dilution effect is why water content is the best answer. Gender and body weight influence water content, but the immediate factor described is how much water is available to dilute the alcohol.
