a.The color of the drink
b.The rate at which they consume alcohol relative to their body's processing
c.The temperature of the room
d.The brand of the beverage

A person's BAC rises when they drink faster than the body can metabolize alcohol, which happens at a roughly fixed rate. Drinking quickly overwhelms this process and raises BAC sharply. Other factors like body weight and food also play a role, but pace is central.
