Women have less body fluid then men do to dilute the alcohol, so their blood alcohol content reaches a higher level than men when drinking the same amount. Consequently, women feel intoxicated more quickly than men. Ladies, remember to keep yourself safe when you party and try to moderate your drinking - a good guideline is one drink per hour or less.
