To determine which statement about alcohol is correct, let's analyze each option:

A. Mixing different kinds of alcoholic beverages increases the rate of intoxication.
To check the accuracy of this statement, we need to consider how alcoholic beverages are metabolized by the body. Our body metabolizes alcohol at a relatively constant rate, regardless of the type of alcoholic beverage consumed. Therefore, mixing different kinds of alcoholic beverages does not increase the rate of intoxication. This statement is incorrect.

B. Men and women metabolize alcohol at different rates.
This statement is true. Men and women metabolize alcohol differently due to biological and physiological factors. Generally, women tend to metabolize alcohol more slowly than men because they have lower levels of enzymes involved in alcohol metabolism. Consequently, alcohol tends to have a stronger effect on women than men when consumed in equal amounts.

C. The higher the level of the enzyme dehydrogenase in the body, the faster one becomes intoxicated.
To determine the accuracy of this statement, we need to understand the role of dehydrogenase in alcohol metabolism. The enzyme dehydrogenase breaks down alcohol in the body. However, the level of this enzyme varies among individuals and has different genetic and environmental determinants. Higher levels of dehydrogenase might help metabolize alcohol more efficiently, potentially leading to a lesser impact of alcohol consumption. Therefore, the statement is incorrect as the higher level of dehydrogenase does not necessarily correlate with faster intoxication.

D. Coffee alters the blood alcohol level in a person's body.
This statement is incorrect. Although coffee might make a person feel more awake or alert, it does not alter the blood alcohol level. Consuming coffee does not accelerate the elimination of alcohol from the body. The only thing that can accurately reduce blood alcohol content is time as the body metabolizes alcohol naturally over time.

In summary, the correct statement about alcohol is option B: Men and women metabolize alcohol at different rates.
