“Women do experience more severe effects of alcohol compared with men, and this is a result of the differences of body physiology affecting the Blood Alcohol Concentration (BAC),” said Dr Reuben Wong, a gastroenterologist at Gutcare, at Gleneagles Medical Centre.
Studies show that women start to have alcohol-related problems sooner and at lower drinking amounts than men and for multiple reasons.3 On average, women weigh less than men. Also, alcohol resides predominantly in body water, and pound for pound, women have less water in their bodies than men. This means that after a woman and a man of the same weight drink the same amount of alcohol, the woman’s blood alcohol concentration (the amount of alcohol in the blood) will tend to be higher, putting her at greater risk for harm. For example, research suggests that women are more likely than men to experience hangovers and alcohol-induced blackouts at comparable doses of alcohol.5,6 Other biological differences may contribute as well.
