True or False: A lean guest will have a higher BAC than a guest with a large amount of body fat, drink for drink.

True
False
It depends on the alcohol type
Cannot be determined

The correct answer is: False

The statement is false because body fat can influence how alcohol is distributed and metabolized in the body. Generally, individuals with a higher percentage of body fat may have a lower blood alcohol concentration (BAC) when compared on a drink-for-drink basis to individuals with a leaner physique. This is due to the fact that alcohol is water-soluble and does not dissolve well in fat. Consequently, lean individuals, who have a higher proportion of body water, can experience a higher BAC more quickly when consuming the same amount of alcohol as someone with a greater body fat percentage. Therefore, the assertion that a lean guest will have a higher BAC than a guest with a larger amount of body fat is incorrect.
