The gender is a factor that determines alochol metabolizm. The statement that females don't digest alcohol as quickly as males so they are affected more easily than males is true. The reason why women are more affected than men is because women tend to have more a higher percentage of body fat and less fluid in their bodies than men. Males metabolize ethanol more efficiently than do females, so they have lower BACs ( Blood alcohol content) after drinking the same amount of alcohol.
