Health Tip of the Day for the Ladies

Hey ladies, think you can drink like a man? Well, biologically you shouldn’t.

Alcohol hits women harder than men, so it’s probably not the best idea to go shot for shot with the guys. This seems like common sense for petite women, because a drink delivers proportionately more alcohol, but it’s not just about a difference in size. Men and women metabolize alcohol differently. Alcohol is diluted by the body’s water content, and because women tend to have lower water content, alcohol is not as diluted in their bodies and their organs are exposed to more alcohol.

That means women are at a higher risk for negative health consequences, not just getting drunker!
