What factors affect the severity of intoxication?

Amount of sleep prior to drinking
Quality of the alcohol being consumed
Amount and speed of consumption of alcohol, tolerance to alcohol, drugs and other toxic substances, medications or recreational and illegal drugs, altitude
Time of day when alcohol is consumed

The correct answer is: Amount and speed of consumption of alcohol, tolerance to alcohol, drugs and other toxic substances, medications or recreational and illegal drugs, altitude

Factors that affect the severity of intoxication include a person's amount and speed of alcohol consumption, their tolerance level for alcohol, and if they have consumed any drugs or toxic substances. This can also be influenced by medications or recreational and illegal drugs, as well as the altitude at which the person is drinking. Option A is incorrect because while amount of sleep can affect a person's overall well-being and mental clarity, it does not directly impact the severity of intoxication. Option B is incorrect because the quality of alcohol may affect the person's experience or taste, but it does not determine how severely they will be affected by it. Option D is incorrect because while the time of day may impact a person's behavior and decision-making, it does not directly relate to the severity of their intoxication.
