women & drinking

Ever wonder if women are effected more from drinking alcohol?

Yes. Unfortunately, women metabolize alcohol slower than men do. Mainly because women have less water in their bodies. A women's brain and liver is exposed to more alcohol than a man.

What's crazy is that, even though women may drink less than men, they may develop liver problems and other alcohol related problems faster than a man does.

There are some benefits to drinking for women.
Moderate drinking for a women is broken down to 1 drink per day. See the everydayHEALTH Web site for more information on how much beer, wine, and hard liquor is OK for women to drink.
