Alcohol is worse for women because of biological and physiological differences that make women more vulnerable to the harmful effects of alcohol, even at lower consumption levels than men. Women have less alcohol dehydrogenase enzyme, which metabolizes alcohol, so alcohol stays longer and at higher concentrations in their bodies. They also have less body water, causing alcohol to be more concentrated, leading to greater toxicity. These factors cause women to develop alcohol-related health problems faster and at lower doses compared to men. Women experience faster shrinking of brain tissue, liver diseases like alcoholic hepatitis and cirrhosis, heart damage, infertility, and higher risks of breast cancer and several other cancers. Women are also more prone to mental health disorders, blackouts, dehydration, and pregnancy complications due to alcohol. Menopause symptoms can worsen with alcohol, further increasing health risks. Overall, women’s bodies are more susceptible to alcohol’s damaging effects due to these physiological and hormonal differences.
