The most valuable of all talents is that of never using two words when one will do. ~Thomas Jefferson
Women can become alcoholics more quickly than men. They are also likely to develop brain damage from the effects of drinking sooner than men, according to a German research study.
Brain scans of 158 volunteers, including 76 alcoholics, supported previous evidence of the differing effects of alcohol abuse, depending on the drinker’s gender. Mental impairment, heart and skeletal damage and liver disease are all known to be more likely to occur in women, even if they consume less alcohol than men.
