Alcohol consumption rate / intoxication?
Question by Sasha: Alcohol consumption rate / intoxication?
Does the consumption rate of alcoholic beverages have a significant effect in increasing the quantity required to be absorbed for the body to enter a state of intoxication, and furthermore, do the effects of intoxication remain for an extended chronological span when a synonymous amount is consumed, but over different stretches of this chronological continuum?
When accounting for the long term effects of senescence, does this multiplier subsidize, or is it a constant variable in which the alcohol intoxicates at an equal rate {Assuming body mass and vertical lineages are proportional between the two participants}
Using the two samples I have formulated below, I conducted a minor experiment:
Amy Wong – Aged 19
Body mass: 121 pounds.
Vertical lineage: 1.56m
Consumed: 6.7 L of vodka.
Time elapsed: 5 hours.
Time elapsed before intoxication: 3hours, 46 minutes.
Intoxication recovery: 12 hours.
Sarah Gardener – Aged 19
Body mass: 121 pounds.
Vertical lineage: 1.56m
Consumed: 6.7 L of vodka
Time Elapsed: 45 minutes
Time elapsed before intoxication: 7 minutes.
Intoxication recovery: 18 hours.

No, the opposite effect is actually true. By increasing the quantity consumed within a given time period, there is a greater concentration gradient between the stomach/blood. Thus the diffusion/absorption rate of alcohol into the bloodstream is greater.g
While the rate of alcohol elimination can vary from person to person slightly, most people will eliminate about one serving of alcohol per hour. Thus, front-loading the alcohol consumption will increase intoxication, versus spreading it out over 5 hours. Steady drinking results in a longer time period before intoxication. Drinking more could potentially result in getting rid of more alcohol through sweat.
The above experiment would kill both subjects. 6.7L of vodka for 121 pound girls would result in alcohol poisoning.
