There are a variety of reasons why women are believed to be more susceptible than men to the effects of alcohol. Physical factors, such as body water content and hereditary predisposition to alcoholism, differentiate women from men. Social factors include secretive drinking, role model in the family, and a perceived increase in promiscuity. Societal stigmas make it difficult for alcoholic women to seek help, yet the mortality rates are high for those women who continue to drink.
人们认为女性比男性更容易受到酒精影响，原因有多种。身体因素，如身体含水量和酒精中毒的遗传易感性，使女性与男性有所不同。社会因素包括隐秘饮酒、家庭中的榜样作用以及人们认为的滥交行为增加。社会污名使得酗酒女性难以寻求帮助，但继续饮酒的女性死亡率很高。
