Women are more prone to alcohol addiction,
The problem is not that women are drinking more alcohol, but that alcohol affects them more than men, According to scientists, Women have very limited amounts of alcohol dehydrogenase in their bodies (ADH) An enzyme is released which is located in the liver and it works to break down alcohol in the body,
what could be the reason,
Professor of Psychology at Harvard Medical School and McLean Hospital, Don Sugarman, an addiction psychologist in Massachusetts, says,Women are more vulnerable to the effects of alcohol, which is why women who drink alcohol have more problems than men., Body fat protects alcohol while water present in the body reduces its effect, In such a situation, women are naturally more affected by alcohol due to more fat and less water in their body.,
On the other hand, women who drink more alcohol are more likely to become addicted to it and have medical problems., This is called telescoping, which means that although women start drinking alcohol later than men, they soon become addicted to it., Not only this, Women are also more likely to suffer from liver and heart problems,
