Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Due to differences in body composition, women generally have a lower proportion of water in their bodies than men. Since alcohol is distributed primarily in body water, women will have a higher concentration of alcohol in their blood after drinking the same amount as a man of the same weight. Therefore, one drink for a woman could have the same effect as two drinks for a man.
