Although men are more likely to drink alcohol and drink in larger amounts, gender differences in body structure and chemistry cause women to absorb more alcohol, and take longer to break it down and remove it from their bodies (i.e., to metabolize it). In other words, upon drinking equal amounts, women have higher alcohol levels in their blood than men, and the immediate effects occur more quickly and last longer. These differences also make women more vulnerable to alcohols long-term effects on their health.
Under most normal circumstances, blood alcohol tests are generally reported to be quite accurate, but there are a number of physical conditions and medications that can affect these results.
Fatty liver is marked by a build-up of fat cells in the liver; virtually everyone who drinks will experience this condition and it will only improve when they stop drinking.
In African Americans, genetically determined variability in another alcohol-metabolizing enzyme, alcohol dehydrogenase-2, appears to affect the degree of vulnerability to alcoholic cirrhosis and alcohol-related fetal damage in some.
