The effects of alcohol consumption can vary significantly between men and women, and understanding these differences is crucial for individuals seeking to minimise the severity of a hangover. Research indicates that women tend to experience more severe hangovers than men, owing to factors such as body composition and alcohol metabolism. In this blog, we explore these differences and provide insights into how women can address the challenges associated with hangovers.
Additionally, we'll show you how Clænsian Hangover Remedy can mitigate some of these issues and assist you to wake up feeling better. Clænsian Hangover Remedy offers a promising solution to alleviate hangover discomfort. With a unique formulation designed to support liver function and enhance alcohol metabolism, Clænsian aims to reduce the duration and intensity of hangover symptoms; but more about this later.
When it comes to alcohol metabolism, the way women process alcohol differs from men. Dr Reuben Wong, a gastroenterologist at Gutcare, at Gleneagles Medical Centre, notes that women experience more severe effects of alcohol due to differences in body physiology.
“Women do experience more severe effects of alcohol compared with men, and this is a result of the differences of body physiology affecting the Blood Alcohol Concentration (BAC),” Dr Wong said.
This is primarily attributed to women having a higher body fat percentage, lower body water content, and reduced levels of the enzyme Alcohol dehydrogenase (ADH), which is crucial for breaking down alcohol.
This is a fact confirmed by Dr. Jarrod Lee, a gastroenterologist at Mount Elizabeth Novena Hospital who explains that women's bodies contain about half the amount of ADH compared to men and explains that this deficiency leads to alcohol remaining in women's bodies approximately 50% longer than in men, contributing to the heightened severity of hangovers.
ADH plays a pivotal role in alcohol metabolism, especially when one has consumed excessive amounts of alcohol. This enzyme, predominantly found in the liver, is responsible for breaking down ethanol, the primary component of alcoholic beverages. When you consume alcohol, ADH converts ethanol into acetaldehyde, a toxic substance that is further metabolised into acetate by aldehyde dehydrogenase. Acetate is relatively non-toxic and is eventually converted into carbon dioxide and water, which are eliminated from the body.
However, when alcohol intake exceeds the liver's capacity to process it, acetaldehyde accumulates, contributing to the adverse effects of alcohol toxicity. The build-up of acetaldehyde can lead to symptoms commonly associated with a hangover, such as headache, nausea, and fatigue.
The average woman has less body water (45-50%) and more body fat (10% more) than men. Dr. Lee emphasises that water dilutes alcohol, while fat retains it. Consequently, women's higher body fat percentage results in a slower absorption of alcohol into the bloodstream, leading to a higher blood alcohol level. A woman's lower body weight and reduced percentage of body water further contribute to an elevated BAC.
Nutritionist Amanda Ursell provides scientific evidence supporting the notion that women experience more severe hangovers than men. A study on American college students confirmed that women, weighing less and having lower percentages of total body water, experienced more intense hangover symptoms than men who consumed the same amount of alcohol.
The power of Clænsian Hangover Remedy is found in its meticulously crafted design to combat the unpleasant aftermath of excessive drinking. It is much more than a random assortment of ingredients. Each component serves a purpose in alleviating hangover symptoms. In fact, clinical studies indicate the ingredients in Clænsian Hangover Remedy effectively increase the metabolism of alcohol, thereby relieving the symptoms of a hangover and promoting the process of regaining sobriety.
