Why do women tend to become intoxicated faster than men after drinking the same amount of alcohol?
women become more intoxicated faster then men because they have less body weight therefore men have more weight where the alcohol can be stored for a while
Why do women have a higher blood alcohol content than men do after consuming the same amount of alcohol?
Men and women have different body chemistry and alcohol affects men and women differently. Women typically have less body mass than male counterparts and carry more water weight than men, BAC is affected by both of those two factors heavily.
If a man and a woman who weigh the same consume the same amount of alcohol what is their Blood Alcohol Concentration level?
Not enough information. How much alcohol did they drink?. The question just says the same amount but what the amount. However, mostly likely the woman's alcohol level would be higher. Women metabolize differently.
What is the recommended amount of carbohydrate per meal for women who want to lose weight?

Is it true or false that the amount of body fluid woman have in comparison to men has nothing to do with the effects of the amount of alcohol one drinks?
If this is a true-false question, the answer is false. Part of the reason women have a higher BAC per pound after ingesting the same amount of alcohol as men is that they have a lower percent water per pound of body weight.
Males can eliminate alcohol faster than women due to?
tHE WOMEN WEIGHT LESS AND SO CANNOT TOLERATE THE POSION AND THE TOXIN IN ALCOHOL
Why do women reach a higher bac before men?
Women of the same height and weight as men tend to become intoxicated faster when consuming the same amount of alcohol over the same length of time. That's because they have a higher proportion of fat (which doesn't absorb alcohol, thus concentrating it in the blood), less of a stomach enzyme (dehydrogenase) that helps metabolize alcohol, and because of the action of female hormones.
What is one explanation for the generally lower tolerance for alcohol in women in comparison to men?
weight and physical health
Why have men got a higher alcohol allowance than women?
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 also have less of a gastric or stomach enzyme (dehydrogenase) that metabolizes or breaks down alcohol before it enters the bloodstream. Because of this, women absorb up to nearly 30% more alcohol into their bloodstream than men of the same height and weight who drink the same amount of alcohol. Women are also usually shorter and lighter than men, further concentrating alcohol in their blood. Therefore, when women of average size consume one drink, it will have almost the same effect as two drinks do for the average-size man. If women eat little or skip food entirely, that compounds the effects of drinking alcohol.
Do women have a higher BAC?
Women are generally smaller than men, and they produce less of the enzyme that breaks down alcohol. For those reasons, most women will have a higher BAC than the average male if they both drink the same amount of alcohol.
Would the blood alcohol be the same for a man and women who weight the same and drink the same?
No, even though they weigh the same men and women have a different body chemistry. Men have a higher percentage of their mass as water than men so alcohol affects them less than women.
Will you gain weight if you drink red wine?
Surprisingly, people don't usually gain weight from drinking alcohol. In fact, some studies have found that after women begin drinking alcohol, their weight tends to drop very slightly. Although several hypotheses have been advanced to explain the lack of correlation generally found between drinking alcohol and weight gain, the reason or reasons remain unclear.
