Correct answer
Yes, as a general rule.
As a general rule, the driver's weight influences the effects of alcohol on the body. Thin people tend to have a higher blood alcohol level, that is, the concentration of alcohol in the blood, even after consuming the same amount of alcohol as a heavier person. This is because alcohol is distributed throughout the body differently depending on a person's weight. In general, thinner people have less fatty tissue and more muscle tissue compared with larger people. Alcohol is diluted less in fatty tissue and is distributed more quickly throughout the body of a thin person, which may result in a higher concentration of alcohol in the blood.
