I will not bore the House with information about where the alcohol dehydrogenase enzyme sits in male and female bodies, but there is a reason why men do not get drunk, or rather why women get drunk more easily. Oh, I am going to tell everyone, because I have started to do so—I will make it relevant. ADH in men is located and primarily active in the stomach, while in women it tends to be in the liver, so in men, alcohol gets broken down before it even gets into the bloodstream; it has nothing to do with body mass ratio. Understanding biology in that way highlights the importance of getting accurate data for health and scientific research, and with that extra knowledge about alcohol dehydrogenase enzymes, I will leave it there.
