Also, muscle will absorb alcohol better than fat. So a 150lb person with a lower body fat percentage will process alcohol better than someone of the same height that weighs 40-50lbs heavier.

I also understand that excessive fat absorbs/stores the alcohol, so while you may not get drunk faster, you stay drunk longer as the alcohol goes through your system slower. Which means I need a few more hours of drinking water.
