Can women hold their alcohol better than men?

fakearms123

I know some women, fierce women, like mythical beasts who plague the heroes journey in Greek stories of old, women with He-Man-esque thighs that should be used soley for farming, women with hands like shovels, with an intense smell of cabbage and a look in their eyes like they have danced with the devil, drank his rich nectar on the scorching cliffs of hell and survived to tell their tale... these women could drink, they would drink their own mother if they could, but these women come far and few. Now mostly what you see out on the streets are little girls taking a few sips of their 0.5% mr freeze pops and being carried to the toilet pods so they can get sick out of both ends with aid from their Quasimodo lookin friend.

Us lads aren't anything special either, with our borderline-dyke style cheque shirts, jeans that look like they belong to dakota fanning drinking 'lite' beer from a bottle and after 1 and a half of them we start a hissy fit cause the dj wouldn't play Canadian artist Bryan Adams song Summer of '69 for you and the boys.

So do women hold up to men on nights out?

It sounds to me, like you go to crap bars buddy!

liah

Depends on the woman tbh.

Sykk

No, they can't. Don't be ridiculous.

Men are most likely to start fighting if too much drink has been consumed.

Women are most likely to start crying for no reason whatsoever.

So the question you should ask is: WOuld you prefer a broken nose or a tear & snot soaked shoulder?

I'd say fat chicks can hold their gargle better than small men.

I read this & thought... WFT? Then I looked at the OP's location. It says "Kerry". My bemusement ended there.

No, women are inferior.

Although this seems unfair girls, and you might believe that this is a male conspiracy theory - or worse still, a challenge, women build up a higher concentration of alcohol in their blood having drunk the same amount as a man.

Even if a women is taller or bigger than a man, ladies have proportionally less body water than men so the concentration of alcohol in their blood stream is proportionally higher - simply illustrated, if a woman weighing 60 kilograms drinks a double gin then a man of the same size will need to drink a triple gin in order to reach the same blood alcohol level.
There is also some evidence that women may breakdown (metabolise) alcohol slightly differently. An enzyme called ADH helps break down alcohol in the liver and in the lining of the stomach; and studies show that ADH levels are lower in women and that this might also account for higher blood alcohol levels.

It's all in the experience. n00bs with alcohol always go too far.

Sea Sharp

No way, jose!

ScumLord

I wouldn't say women can hold drink better it's just I don't like the way the pint makes my hand cold so it's better for me if they hold it and feed it to me as needed.

No they can't - their fingers are too small.

If, by alcohol you mean spirits, beer and wine - then no, not really I'd say its 50:50

If, on the other, by alcohol, you mean my penis then yes, yes they can - even if she's doing it wrong.

One of my mates [female] is a total mong and has a tendancy to leak a lot when she consumes too much...

And how would this be relevant? Nice of you to notice though.

Depends how big their hands are, smaller makes it harder but is more flattering for the men folk in certain situations.

NoHornJan

Of course they can. Women have two extra tanks that men don't and they can store a lot more liquid.

Well most of my friends prefer a bag of chips when boozed up.

Have encountered a lot of girls that bragged about how much booze they can hold, they're normally the ones having their hair held back by their friends at the end of the night.

Drinking comes down to three main things:

1. the size of the drinker
2. what you've had to eat beforehand (ie soakage)
3. tolerance to alcohol

The sex of the drinker is irrelevant.

According to this instructional documentation, I recon they can hold it quite well...

From what I remember, part of the reason is because men have a higher water content than women (women have a higher fat content), so the alcohol is more "diluted" so to speak.

Im possibly the worst drinker ever! if i have 3 bottles im tipsy and by 5 im actually pissed. I dont no why im so bad my friends think its halerious! suppose it doesn't cost me much on a night out :rolleyes:

3. tolerance to alcohol

Your last sentence doesn't make sense because 1 and 3 are functions of the sex of the drinker.

Women have a lower tolerance for alcohol than men. This is not to say that every woman has a lower tolerance than any man - one's perosonal alcohol tolerance is largely based on the genetics that decide upon one's complement of liver enzymes. For example, there are obvious racial variances, caucasians are more tolerant of alcohol than most people of far eastern origin etc. There are several theories on the exact reasons why the variance between the sexes is seen, it's probably a bit of all of them. The higher water content of men diluting the alcohol, inherent differences in enzyme activity, smaller livers in women, meaning less hepatocytes thus less alcohol dehydrogenase, variations in dehydrogenase in the stomach etc.

Bottom line is that if one looks at the recommended weekly alcohol intake, it's 21 units for men and 14 for women.
