EAT, DRINK AND BE WARY: Women and the Dangers of Alcohol
This video explains to viewers that alcohol consumption, even in moderate amounts has far greater and more lasting effects on women than on men. Viewers learn that even with a single glass of wine, the effects on their respective physiologies are very different - the female body absorbs alcohol faster and retains it up to twice as long as the male body. This has considerable implications both for social drinking and for driving after drinking alcohol. This ABC News program illustrates these differences and discusses the potential hazards.
