Alcohol worse for female brains

BBC NEWS | Health | 'Alcohol worse for female brains'

Excerpt:

Women who were heavy drinkers lost the same amount of brain volume as the drinking men, but over a much shorter period of alcohol dependence.

Lead author Professor Karl Mann said although men generally drink more alcohol, women are probably develop alcohol dependence and adverse consequences more readily.

Other alcohol-related disorders, such as heart problems, depression and liver disease, also occurred earlier in women than men, he said.

I believe it is important for women to understand the effects alcohol can have on them. If you drink alcohol, honestly consider how much you drink and take a look at your options to improve your health.
