Women

A woman’s BAC will generally increase by between 0.02 to 0.03 for each standard drink and will decrease by approximately ¾ of a standard drink an hour .These rates are higher than men  as  women tend to be smaller and have more fatty tissue per kg body weight: drink-for-drink this increases the exposure of organs and tissue to alcohol. Males also have more body water, and more of the enzyme ADH which breaks down alcohol, in their stomachs – this means that  alcohol is more concentrated in the body fluids of women drinking the same amount as a male.
