Can the same amount of ingested alcohol affect two people of the same height and weight differently in terms if blood alcohol percentage?
That's interesting. How can genetics affect alcohol metabolism?
Research has shown that genetic variations can affect the activity and expression of enzymes that are involved in alcohol metabolism. For example, people who have a genetic variation that leads to low activity of the alcohol dehydrogenase enzyme may have higher blood alcohol concentrations after drinking the same amount of alcohol compared to people with the normal version of the gene.
