True. Drinking on an empty stomach can increase blood alcohol concentration (BAC) because there is no food in the stomach to slow down the absorption of alcohol in the bloodstream. When alcohol is consumed on an empty stomach, it gets absorbed quickly into the bloodstream and reaches the brain faster, resulting in a higher BAC level. This can lead to a quicker onset of intoxication and impaired judgement, making it more risky to drink on an empty stomach. Therefore, it is recommended to eat a meal before or while drinking to slow the absorption of alcohol and reduce the risk of reaching a high BAC.
