Hell no
Women are more vulnerable than men to the medical consequences of alcohol abuse.
Yes. However, relatively speaking, women are significantly less vulnerable to major cardiac events, in their reproductive years, due to the postulated preventive effects of estrogen. After menopause, women are equally as likely, as men, to have significant coronary artery disease.
No
The effects of drinking are less predictable for women primarily due to physiological differences, such as body composition and metabolism. Women generally have a higher percentage of body fat and a lower percentage of water compared to men, which affects alcohol distribution in the body. Additionally, hormonal fluctuations can influence alcohol metabolism, making women's responses to alcohol more variable. These factors contribute to a heightened sensitivity to alcohol and increased risks of adverse effects for women.
Addiction, or ignorance of the effects on the fetus, or both.
The effects of the Revolution were equally hard on women, slaves and Indians. All three groups suffered and were subject to inequality and discrimination.
Yes and no. The overall effects of drinking are the same, however women are affected by less alcohol because they produce less of the enzyme that breaks it down. Therefore, it builds up faster in their bodies and remains longer.
No, the effects are men on average are less intense that for women. This is because in part due to weight differences. Men on average are heavier than women, the large body size allows for more ethanol and it's byproducts to be distributed throughout the body. Which increases the amount of ethanol required to produce the effects of inebriation.
Nothing Women were not treated equally and were not taught anything
Yes, alcohol can cross the placenta from the mother's bloodstream to the fetus. This can have harmful effects on the developing baby's growth and development, leading to a condition known as Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorder (FASD). It is important for pregnant women to avoid consuming alcohol to protect the health of their baby.
Given equally healthy bodies and people of the same age and functions, both men and women's blood alcohol levels drop by about 25 points per hour (on average). So if a blood alcohol level reads 150, a realtively healthy person can expect to be sober in about 6 hours.
It gives them a sense of control.
