We are grateful for Dr. Morton's insightful comments (Morton, 2023) on our recently published article (Seyedsadjadi et al, 2023) and value the opportunity for scholarly dialogue.Dr. Morton has highlighted that our findings, which indicate that people with obesity have faster alcohol elimination rates, seem at odds with findings from prior studies (Changchien et al, 2012;Woodard et al, 2011).
