Part Two


What do you think girls drink more now then they used to?



Well I think it is because back in those days when girls never used to drink as much as they do now, they only had a few choices to pick from like the original Lion Red, Waikato and now these days we have all sorts of different fancy types. I also think it is because the drinking ages (18) and the trying to fit into other groups and make new friends and to impress blokes.

Some women or girls are totally different some are into sports and socialising with others and things when others have nothing better to do then just drink alcohol and soon become alcoholics. Some part of it is the companies how sell and make all these weird drinks their putting fancy labels on them and making different colours, there are so many kinds of alcohol out there now and at different prices too.

Girls these days have there own mind and know what there doing to them selves and have to make there mind up.

I think the parents have to take some responsibility for they’re young girl’s behaviour they should stick to the age limit and if they don’t obey well then take them to a group were they learn to obey the law. Maybe if they also support and communicate, also it will help if they have a roll model to look up to and can talk to it could help that’s what I think anyway.

Women and Alcohol


Women and Alcohol


She has a glass or two of wine and feels it go straight to her head. He has the same amount to drink and feels fine.

Researchers confirm something many women have always suspected-it takes less alcohol for a women to feel tipsy then it does for a man, and it’s not all to do with body size. Even if a woman is the same weight as a man and drinks the same amount of alcohol level a third higher than his. It will also take a third longer for her body to eliminate the alcohol from her blood.

Why alcohol affects women more then men and is potentially more harmful is one of a number of topics covered in a booklet produced by the Alcohol Advisory Council.

Alcohol affects women more than men because women have higher proportion of the body fat and less water in their bodies than men. This means that once it is in the bloodstream of a woman, the alcohol is not as diluted and has a stronger effected and feel the effects for much longer than the man will.

Both males and females have an enzyme in their stomach designed to process alcohol into a safer substance, yet for reason that are not yet clear to scientists, this enzyme is 70-80 percent more effective in men then in women. If the liver of a healthy young woman is compared with that of a healthy young man, it will generally take her liver longer to process one drink than his, and a person starts t feel drunk alcohol faster than their liver can process it.

New Zealand research has found more women are drinking and the amount of alcohol consumed by women is increasing. Young women are also drinking more, and what is particularly concerned is that a significant proportion of young women are adopting a pattern of drinking similar to their male counterparts-that is, consuming large amounts of alcohol in one go.

Other topics included in the booklet are alcohol and women’s health, alcohol and sex, alcohol and pregnancy and alcohol and alcohol and breastfeeding. There is also a guide to how much is too much and a section on getting help and advice.
