The primary reason that women metabolize alcohol more slowly than men because there is a smaller amount of the alcohol metabolizing enzyme dehydrogenase in the stomach in women. Because less of this enzyme is present, more alcohol passes through the stomach to the duodenum, which is the main alcohol-absorbing portion of the gut.
Research has shown that people born in recent years tend to consume more alcohol than older generations, suggesting that as the current population ages, these individuals will continue to drink more.
The Task Force on Community Preventive Services also recommends enhanced enforcement of laws prohibiting the sale of alcohol to minors to reduce such sales.
