Women Drinking Myth:

THIS IS TRUE

Women do get drunk quicker than men, and they key difference is body weight. The average male is heavier than the average female. The extra blood volume and the greater number of body cells means that the ingested alcohol is spread out within the body, meaning that there is lower the concentration of alcohol.
Also, men have a larger amount of gastric alcohol dehydrogenase, which breaks down alcohol is the liver. This allows men to break down more alcohol leaving less in the blood stream.
