    Correct Answer
    D. There is no minimum alcohol consumption that can cause alcohol poisoning - it depends on your age, sex, size, weight, how fast you’ve been drinking, how much you’ve eaten, your general health and other drugs you might have taken.
    Explanation
    Alcohol poisoning can occur at any level of alcohol consumption and there is no specific minimum amount that can cause it. The severity of alcohol poisoning depends on various factors such as age, sex, size, weight, drinking speed, food intake, overall health, and any other drugs that have been taken. Therefore, it is not possible to determine a minimum quantity of alcohol that can lead to alcohol poisoning as it varies from person to person.
