body weight (not including body fat)

On the contrary (same source):

Very little alcohol enters fat because of fat's poor solubility. Blood and tissue concentrations are therefore higher in women, who have more subcutaneous fat and a smaller blood volume, than in men, even when the amount of alcohol consumed is adjusted for body weight.

This actually proves my point. "Very little alcohol enters fat because of fat's poor solubility." Meaning alcohol doesn't enter fat, so body fat doesn't lower the concentration of alcohol in the bloodstream. It's part of TIPS certification; a lot of bartenders are taught that body weight increases your ability to consume alcohol, so they see a heavy set guy and assume he can handle more alcohol, but fat doesn’t actually affect their tolerance. A 5'8" fat guy that weighs 250 is going to have a lower tolerance than a 6'2" lean guy that weighs 250.

This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

Anon is often crazy.
Anon is often depressed.
Anon frequently shares thoughts that are immature, offensive, or incomprehensible.

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.
