Does alcohol affect everyone in the same way?
Human factor: Alcohol, drugs, and medications
Explanation
Alcohol does not affect all people in the same way. **Age** is an important factor that influences how alcohol impacts a person. In particular, **those under 18 and over 65 are more sensitive to alcohol**. This means that these individuals may experience the effects of alcohol more intensely or more quickly than other age groups.
In addition to age, there are other factors that can also influence the blood alcohol concentration, such as weight, sex, and whether one has eaten before drinking. However, in the specific case of alcohol sensitivity, age is a key factor that makes those under 18 and over 65 more vulnerable to its effects.
