Why do Women tend to reach higher BAC levels more quickly than?

Women tend to reach higher blood alcohol concentration (BAC) levels more quickly than men due to physiological differences. They generally have a higher percentage of body fat and lower water content, which affects alcohol distribution in the body. Additionally, women often produce less of the enzyme alcohol dehydrogenase, which helps metabolize alcohol in the stomach. These factors combined mean that women can feel the effects of alcohol more rapidly and intensely than men.
