What happens to a person's BAC level if they consume alcohol on an empty stomach?

It remains stable
It increases faster
It decreases faster
It is only affected by the type of alcohol

The correct answer is: It increases faster

When a person consumes alcohol on an empty stomach, the absorption of alcohol into the bloodstream occurs more quickly. Without food, which typically slows the absorption process by providing a barrier in the stomach, the alcohol can enter the bloodstream rapidly. This leads to a faster increase in blood alcohol concentration (BAC) levels. Additionally, the body's ability to metabolize the alcohol does not increase at the same rate, so the individual experiences a more pronounced effect from smaller amounts of alcohol consumed in this context. It’s important for individuals to be aware of this relationship, as consuming alcohol without food can lead to intoxication more quickly and, potentially, dangerous situations.
