Does the morning after drinking hit you harder than your partner?
Yes, women typically feel alcohol's effects more intensely than men.
Research from the University of Missouri indicates women endure more severe headaches, dizziness, and dry mouth. This stems from women's lower body water content, which concentrates alcohol in the bloodstream, and reduced levels of alcohol dehydrogenase—the liver enzyme that metabolizes it. Premenstrual hormonal shifts can intensify symptoms further.
