Several factors impact the toxicity of alcoholic beverages, including:
Concentration of ethanol: Higher ethanol content increases the risk of toxicity. Rate of consumption: Rapid intake can overwhelm the liver's metabolic capacity. Body weight and composition: Individuals with higher body mass may tolerate more alcohol than those with less. Genetic factors: Genetic variations in enzymes like alcohol dehydrogenase can affect alcohol metabolism. Age and gender: Younger and female individuals often experience stronger effects due to physiological differences.
