Which of the following factors does NOT influence BAC levels?

Food consumption
Gender
Type of beverage consumed
Person's height

The correct answer is: Person's height

The correct choice is that a person's height does not influence Blood Alcohol Concentration (BAC) levels. BAC is primarily affected by the amount of alcohol consumed, the rate of consumption, body weight, metabolism, sex, and food intake. While body weight is a critical factor—larger individuals generally have a higher water content and can distribute alcohol more effectively—height itself does not play a direct role in determining BAC. Food consumption plays a significant role because consuming food can slow the absorption of alcohol into the bloodstream, reducing peak BAC levels. Gender is another influential factor due to physiological differences that affect how alcohol is metabolized; for instance, women generally have a higher BAC than men after consuming the same amount of alcohol, due to differences in body composition. Similarly, the type of beverage consumed matters because different drinks contain varying amounts of alcohol, impacting overall consumption and raising or lowering BAC accordingly.
