Shorter people get drunk faster than taller people on the same amount of alcohol.

the verdict
INSUFFICIENT LEANING
Recorded sources
2 sources for · 0 against

Counts group repeated records of the same source within each side. They do not measure evidence strength or source independence.

Is it true that shorter people get drunk faster than taller people on the same amount of alcohol?

Unclear. The retrieved items only partially support the claim: one review notes women reach higher blood alcohol concentrations than men after equivalent doses even when adjusted for body weight, and a forensic study shows BAC calculations depend on total body water, which scales with body size. Neither item directly compares shorter versus taller people of the same sex, so the specific height-based claim is not fully established.
