Select the following statements that are true about blood alcohol concentration (bac)? select all that apply. a. bac acts as a thermometer. a higher bac results in a higher level of intoxication. b. girls generally develop higher blood alcohol levels than guys after consuming similar amounts of alcohol. c. drinking on an empty stomach may result in a higher bac level. d. exercise or a cold shower can lower the blood alcohol level.

I believe all except D would apply. Generally speaking, the higher your BAC the more drunk you are. Women also typically have higher blood alcohol levels than men after consuming similar amounts of alcohol due to the fact that the average woman has less muscle and is shorter/ smaller in stature. Lastly, food helps alcohol absorb more slowly into the blood stream therefore giving you a lower bac. When you drink on an empty stomach the food "barrier" is no longer there and the drink is absorbed faster into your bloodstream.
