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.

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 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.
