Not everyone reacts to alcohol the same way. That’s why some people get drunk more easily than others. The major factor in alcohol reactions are:
- Age.
- Gender.
- Race or ethnicity.
- Physical condition (weight, fitness level, etc).
- Amount of food consumed before drinking.
- How quickly the alcohol was consumed.
- Use of drugs or prescription medicines.
- Family history of alcohol problems.
Older people tend to react to alcohol more than young adults. Since many seniors are on prescription medicines thus making them more at risk. And young adults are just as much as risk as older people since they tend to drink a lot more.
