Why Do Women Get DUI Faster Than Men

There is scientific evidence that supports what college kids have known for years. Gender plays a significant role in how people metabolize alcohol. Womens bodies tend to be smaller than most men on average. Phoenix DUI attorneys caution that a smaller body will show more blood alcohol concentration than a larger one because it has less blood. Women also tend to have more fat on their bodies and less muscle than men. That means that again, there is less blood in the blood stream for the alcohol to dilute in to. Ultimately, the same drink will result in a higher concentration of alcohol in the blood for a woman than it would for a man.

In this case, size really does matter. Remember this when out for one drink before going home. That one drink could put a person at risk for a DUI conviction in Arizona. Don’t drink and drive.
