Solution

The factors that affect alcohol metabolism besides the alcohol content of the beverage, the amount of alcohol consumed, and the individual's usual alcohol intake are:

  1. Sex: Men and women metabolize alcohol differently. Women generally have less body water than men of similar body weight, so they achieve higher concentrations of alcohol in the blood after drinking equivalent amounts of alcohol.

  2. Ethnicity: Genetic factors can affect how alcohol is metabolized. Some ethnic groups may have different levels of alcohol dehydrogenase and aldehyde dehydrogenase, enzymes involved in breaking down alcohol in the body.

  3. Age: Metabolism slows with age, including the breakdown of alcohol. Older people also tend to have less body water, leading to higher blood alcohol concentrations.

Religion does not directly affect alcohol metabolism, but it may influence drinking behaviors and attitudes towards alcohol.
