If a woman drinks the same two drinks as her male companion, her alcohol concentration in her body would be <u>higher</u> because she has <u>less body water.</u>
Women absorb and metabolize alcohol differently than men. Women generally have less body water than men of similar body weight, so that women achieve higher concentrations of alcohol in the blood after drinking equivalent amounts of alcohol. Women do appear to eliminate alcohol from the blood faster than men. Men tend to have lower body fat ratios than women. Since alcohol is stored in body fat, men need to drink more in order to feel the substance's effects. Men's bodies produce more of the alcohol dehydrogenase enzyme. Alcohol use increases the risk of cancer of the mouth, throat, esophagus, liver, and colon, which are more common among men. Drinking alcohol also increases the risk of prostate cancer.
