Individuals differ in how fast they metabolize alcohol (pharmacokinetics) and in the extent to which they are affected by a given dose of alcohol (pharmacodynamics).   These individual differences affect drinking behavior, the potential for the development of alcohol dependence, and the risk for developing alcohol-induced organ damage.  Therefore, understanding these differences will provide important information about alcohols health effects throughout the lifespan.
