Yes and no. The overall effects of drinking are the same, however women are affected by less alcohol because they produce less of the enzyme that breaks it down. Therefore, it builds up faster in their bodies and remains longer.

∙ 10y agoYes. Studies show that men and women are affected differently by alcohol for a number of reasons. Women, generally, have a lower alcohol tolerance than men due to weight and muscle mass differences. Women's hormones also affect the way they metabolize alcohol, making them more susceptible to alcohol's effects.

How come men are allowed more units of alcohol than women?
It's not sexist but purely biological. Alcohol affects woman faster as they have a higher proportion of body fat than men. Fat cannot absorb alcohol so it is more concentrated in a woman's blood. Women have less of the stomach enzyme dehydrogenase that breaks down alcohol. A woman will absorb almost 30% more than a man her own size because of this. Also, more obviously, women are often shorter and lighter than men meaning a higher concentration of alcohol.

Does a person's body weight does not affect how alcohol may affect the person?
I think that it may take a little more alcohol for a larger person to get drunk but I think that tolerance is the biggest factor on how drunk you are going to get. If you are used to drinking a lot that you can handle more. If you are not used to drinking a lot than you can handle less.

How does tolerance to alcohol affect BAC?
Tolerance to alcohol does not affect immediate measures of BAC. A tolerant person can have a much higher BAC without feeling the effects but according to the law they are more drunk than a person with a lower amount that is highly affected by alcohol. To be more specific, high tolerance essentially affects the level of habituation a person's neurons have adapted to alcohol and reduces the number of receptors that they have for alcohol. As BAC is a measure of immediate blood alcohol levels, this is not affected by levels of receptors in the brain.

Men almost NEVER get pregnant after getting drunk at a strange bar.
