Several factors influence how alcohol will affect a person: age, gender, physical condition, amount of food eaten and other drugs or medicines taken.
When the rate of alcohol that is consumed by an individual exceeds the liver's detoxification rate, the amount of alcohol in the bloodstream continues to increase, impairing the brain, causing intoxication, coma, and in many cases, death.
Across people of all ages, males are four times as likely as females to be heavy drinkers.
Reduced alertness may potentially increase alcohol's sedating effect in situations such as rotating sleep-wake schedules (e.g., shift work) and rapid travel across multiple time zones (i.e., jet lag), increasing the danger that sleepiness and alcohol consumption will co-occur.
