C. At a varied rate depending on individual characteristics
Explanation:
<u> The alcohol is metabolized different between individuals and depends on a number of factors including liver size, body mass, concentration of water in the body, etc</u>. Regardless of how much a person consumes, the body can metabolize only a certain amount of alcohol every hour. Due this differences in alcohol metabolism may put some people at greater risk for developing alcohol-related problems.
For example: women have a fast absorption of alcohol comparing to men. As they have higher fat content, the body water concentration is lower and alcohol tends to be higher. Thus, in them the effect is faster and the damage to the various organs is more intense than in men, even if both have identical body weight and drink similar amounts of alcohol.
For example: I am a fan of BTS. BTS makes songs on teenage mental health and how they can overcome it. When fans listen to their songs, they can relate because the lyrics are really meaningful; They feel 'safe' as they see their favourite artists as their source of hope.
I would sit down and have a conversation with him about what would happen if he does not take the antidepressant prescription and what would happen if he did take it. I would also keep Phil updated on his health because every patient has a right to know whats going on inside their body.
