Does alcohol cause a worse hangover in women than in men?

Is the day after harder for you than for your partner?

Yes, a woman experiences the effects of alcohol more strongly than a man
Research from the University of Missouri shows that women suffer more from headaches, dizziness and dry mouth. Women have less water in their bodies than men and also a lower level of the substance dehydrogenase, which helps the liver to break down alcohol. Hormonal changes in the days before your period reinforce a hangover even more.
