Show answer and explanation
Correct answer: Yes, minors tend to be more sensitive to the effects of alcohol.
Yes. In general, alcohol has a greater effect on people under 18, just as it does on those over 65, and they have more difficulty managing the impairment it causes. Also, an underage driver's limit is 0.0. This happens with any alcoholic drink, not just distilled spirits.
