Correct answer
Yes, they can be particularly sensitive.
Yes. DGT identifies people over 65, together with under-18s, as groups more sensitive to effects on the psychophysical abilities needed for driving. Age matters, but individual response also depends on personal circumstances and consumption; a specific alcohol-clearance rate cannot be deduced merely from age. Avoiding alcohol before driving is safest.
