Q

Women are generally more vulnerable

to the effects of alcohol because:

A

On average, women weigh less and people who
weigh less reach higher blood alcohol levels
compared to people who weigh more.

Women have more adipose tissue (fat), causing
alcohol to be absorbed more slowly and the effects
of alcohol to take longer to wear off.

Women have less water in their bodies to dilute
alcohol. If a woman and a man of the same weight
drink an equal amount of alcohol, a woman’s blood
alcohol concentration will be higher.

Women have lower levels of the enzymes that break
down alcohol. This means that alcohol remains in a
woman’s system longer.
