Is it true that females get drunk quicker than males?
Women are affected by alcohol more rapidly because they tend to have a higher proportion of body fat than men. As fat cannot absorb alcohol, it is concentrated at higher levels in the blood. Women absorb up to nearly 30 percent more alcohol into their bloodstream than men of the same height and weight who drink the same amount of alcohol.
