Many people think the reason why women are lightweights when it comes to alcohol beverages is because of body size. According to researchers, the real reason why women can't hold their liquor as well as men is because men & women have VERY different water to fat ratios to their bodies. Men's bodies are made up of about 61 percent water, whereas women average about 52 percent. Women are also lacking in the liver department AS WELL. Specifically, they produce less of the liver enzyme dehydrogenase, which is that magical substance that converts alcohol into an inactive state and ensures you're sober by the time Monday morning comes around. Because they have less of the enzyme, women also feel the effects of alcohol much faster than men and it hits them harder. So the real reason to most people, on why women are "lightweights" are much wrong, and is clearly a stereotype simply judging by there "body frame."
