According to a recent medical study, the reason why women supposedly get drunker faster than men is not because of their smaller stature, but because they hold less water in their bodies. A typical man is made up of 65% water, while a woman is 55%. From the Daily Mail:
Dr Marsha Morgan, of University College London Medical School, explains: ‘Alcohol is absorbed into the blood and then carried in water in cells. Because women have less body water than men, they are likely to end up with a higher blood concentration of alcohol after the same amount of drink.’
And dig this!
If a man and woman of the same weight were given the same dose of alcohol, the blood alcohol levels in the woman would be about a third higher. ‘A 65kg man will have the same blood alcohol level after a triple gin as a 65kg woman would have after a double measure,’ Dr Morgan says.
DO YOU KNOW WHAT THIS MEANS?? It means the following:
1) I shouldn’t have to buy my female companions a triple gin, when a double will make her just as drunk as me. MONEY SAVING TIP, GUYS!
2) Police should judge men and women on a different DUI scale. For example, as the law stands right now, if a woman and I drink the same amount and drive, we’re both punished exactly the same! The woman should be punished more, since she’s a third drunker!
3) Wait… that doesn’t make any sense. Okay, let me try that again. Since women get a third more drunk than men, and I get arrested for blowing a .08, then a woman’s Breathalyzer result shouldn’t be the same as mine—it should be a third LESS, right? So in all fairness, women should be arrested if they blow a .027.
4) Okay, I’m pretty sure that didn’t make any sense either.
5) How about this: Since a woman gets a third drunker than me, I should at least get discounted drinks, or they should be charged more. Whichever works for the bar owner.
6) No? Okay, well, whatever, but I do feel that, as a man, I’m being treated unfairly in this scenario, and that somebody owes me a drink. And I think it’s you women. YEAH! Women owe me a drink. ALL OF YOU! WHERE’S MY DRINK, WOMEN??
You drink is in the left bottom drawer of you desk same as always. Maybe you are starting a little early today.
Ha! Men carry 10% more water. That is why we rule the world, ladies. We can bloviate for hours without getting dry mouth.
men are water
So you’re saying that women are more dense than men? Smart move, Humphrey.
