Research Summary

New research suggests that alcohol presents more health risks for women than men, UPI reported Sept. 12.

The research found that women are more likely to develop alcohol-related liver diseases in less time and after drinking less than men. In addition, women are more apt to develop alcoholic hepatitis and to die from cirrhosis of the liver.

The study further showed that women are more likely to suffer alcohol-induced brain damage.

The study's findings are published in the September 2003 issue of the Mayo Clinic's Women's HealthSource.
