Alcohol affects women the same as the other kind of humans but because of our (generally) different body-weight and fat ratio it tends to affect us more -faster and furious-er. Which in moderation is not a bad thing . Just about every one of the zillion studies done on this says that people who have a few drinks live longer and everything else you can think of than teetotallers (can't even spell it and I was a champion at school - probl'y the word was never taught in New Zealand schools for ideological reasons ! ! :eek: )
Come on all you other Kiwi's and Aussies - send in some statistics. Or at least some good stories! Our poor worried be-nighted sisters need balanced information! ;)
Erm, I'm not sure the stories I have about the effects of excess alcohol on my person are necessarily fit for public consumption. ;)
Apparently, the idea that women cannot tolerate as much alcohol (ok acutely, that can be measured - I mean chronically) has to do with the fact that women often understate the amount they really drink when doctors ask...
I like my glass of wine or beer with dinner, not every night, and boy am I sensitive to anything headachy.
Yeah you're probably right - I didn't think about that when I asked for Australasian input. Things do get pretty disgusting Down Under and the rest of the world might not understand our Anthropological Reality...Quote:

Anthropological Reality? I like it. :D And let's just say, it often involves tree climbing... ;) :p
OF course it affects us differently. I think smoking does the same thing ... only in a longer period of time. But that's for another thread ... :)
