Studies have been able to identify that women are more vulnerable to the affects of Alcohol than men. Women reach higher concentrations levels of alcohol in the bloodstream and become much more impaired than men after drinking the same amounts of alcohol.

The effects on the liver are much far more severe for women than men. Women develop alcoholic liver disease, alcoholic cirrhosis and hepatitis, after a shorter period of time than men. More alcoholic women die from cirrhosis than men.

A study by the Journal of the American Medical Association, showed that a woman’s risk of breast cancer rises with the amount of alcohol she consumes on a regular basis. Drinking moderately or not at all can reduce the chance of getting breast cancer.

Of course these studies only relate to women with an Alcohol problem not necessarily a women that drinks a glass of wine a day. But as always with this type of Addiction it is important to always remember to be in control of your Alcohol consumption and to never allow Alcohol to run your life.
