What does alcohol metabolism in a healthy liver depend on?

The type of alcohol consumed
The body weight
.6 oz. of ethyl alcohol per hour
Physical activity level

The correct answer is: .6 oz. of ethyl alcohol per hour

Alcohol metabolism in a healthy liver mainly depends on the body's ability to process approximately .6 ounces of ethyl alcohol per hour, which is equivalent to one standard drink. This process is mainly regulated by the enzymes in the liver that break down alcohol. Option A is incorrect because although the type of alcohol consumed may influence how quickly one feels its effects, it does not affect the metabolism rate in a healthy liver. Option B is also incorrect because although body weight may play a role in alcohol metabolism, it is not the main determining factor. Option D is incorrect because while physical activity may affect how quickly alcohol is absorbed into the bloodstream, it does not necessarily impact its metabolism in a healthy liver.
