Alcohol's Impact: Why Women Feel Effects Faster Than Men

• Women's bodies have lower water content, leading to more concentrated alcohol in the blood and faster intoxication.
• Women have less 'Alcohol Dehydrogenase' (ADH) enzyme, which means alcohol is broken down less efficiently before entering the bloodstream.
• Slower alcohol metabolism in women increases the risk of liver diseases like 'Liver Cirrhosis' earlier than in men.
• Hormonal changes, especially during menstruation, can intensify alcohol's effects and disrupt the menstrual cycle.
• Women experience more severe hangovers due to alcohol staying in their bodies longer.

Why It Matters: Biological differences cause alcohol to affect women more intensely and rapidly than men.
