The "rate of absorption" has to do with how quickly alcohol enters the bloodstream and how quickly alcohol is processed by the kidneys (Both A and B).

On average, the liver processes one ounce of pure alcohol in sixty minutes, but it also depends on some factor such as weight, age, gender, the type and strength of the alcohol, medication and how much food you have eaten. The more you drink the longer the alcohol stays in your body. Alcohol in your body detected by Blood Alcohol Concentrate (BAC). BAC is a percentage of alcohol in a person's bloodstream

When the BAC increases, the level of alcohol-related impairment you experience also increasing. Many factors affect how alcohol absorb and metabolize such as age, gender, body weight, and health condition.

When a woman and man drink the same amount of alcohol, women likely have higher blood alcohol concentrations than man. It is because the woman body has less amount of water to dilute the alcohol, so the alcohol stays longer in women's body. We can conclude that gender affects alcohol absorption even if they are the same age and weight.
