  This should have been part of the title, because the abstract says the results are that men handle booze worse than women, which is the opposite in humans.

    Watch out: men typically are more habituated and bigger, both of which are confounders.

      True, true. What's interesting about this study is that the girl rats were unfazed while the boy rats had hangovers. Do their livers work differently? With humans it's not stark like that.

    This is about long-term effects, not the day after, or during.
    • luhsprwhk 2y ago
      So what? Are you saying that long term effects are worse in men than women in humans? Because that's not true.

        Do you know of a study that shows that long term effects in men and women are the same or worse in women?

                I think you are mistaken about who you're replying to, but it shouldn't matter. Someone made a claim. You made a claim that they are specifically wrong and the opposite is true, not that their claim is unproven. I just wanted to know what information informed your claim.
