Why women become more intoxicated than men when consuming an equal amount of alcohol.?

English
1 answer:
Leni [432]3 years ago

Here are 4 explanations as to why men and women react differently to alcohol consumption: <span><span>Capacity to dilute alcohol: While the concentration of water in the body of an average man is around 61 percent, a woman has a considerable less water content, that of 52 percent. As a result, a man”s body is naturally equipped to dilute alcohol more efficiently than a woman”s body – regardless of the weight factor.</span><span>Capacity to metabolize alcohol: As mentioned earlier, women have lower concentrations of dehydrogenase – the enzyme that metabolizes alcohol before it passes into the bloodstream. So, a woman”s body processes alcohol comparatively slower than a man”s body would.</span><span>Hormonal changes: Variations in the hormonal levels prior to menstruation can cause women to become intoxicated faster. This is especially evident during the days just before the commencement of the periods. Women who regularly take estrogen-added medications like birth control pills often experience extended effects of intoxication since the medication slows down the rate at which the body is able to eliminate the alcohol content.</span><span>Body fat: The content of body fat is directly related to the rate of absorption and metabolizing of alcohol. Women have a higher concentration of body fat than men. Since fat does not absorb alcohol, the entire alcohol content remains in a highly concentrated form in the bloodstream. Consequently, women experience alcohol-induced intoxication faster than men.  Here is an article on how long does alcohol stay in your blood, you might find it helpful.</span></span>

The aqua lung bringing ocean exploration to new depths what is the author's purpose in writing this passage
g100num [7]

<span>The purpose of the article, “The Aqua Lung:  Bringing Ocean Exploration to New Depths,” is to inform.  It is an informative article.  Like the title suggests, the aqua lung did bring undersea exploration to new depths (which is a pun, by the way), by manner of making exploration available to “ordinary people.”  The way you can determine what the purpose is in an article is by looking at the beginning first couple of paragraphs as well as the ending paragraph.  The beginning, as you know, will have the thesis (or topic), and this is where you’ll get the clues with regard to what the point of the writing is.  As you may probably also know, the ending (or conclusion) is where the thesis/topic will be reiterated.  As such, you’ll be looking for what is said twice—at the beginning and at the end.  In the beginning, it is noted that the Aqua Lung “made it possible for more people to explore the ocean’s depths.” And, in the ending it states that “Cousteau’s greatest legacy as a conservationist may have been giving ordinary people the tools needed to view the wonders of the ocean firsthand.” </span>
