Alcohol Effect Differs on Men and Women, finds study

As per a research that has been published in the LiveScience, it has been unveiled that alcohol has different effect on men and women.

The study carried out by a group of researchers from the University of Vermont has found that the effect differs as reason for drinking also differs. Lead researcher Valerie S Harder said that for men, anger made them drinking and effect of the same day will also be like that on the next day.

They will neither feel happy nor sad. Study researchers then carried out an experiment in order to know how drinking affects mood of participants.

It was considered that people who consume alcohol find themselves to be in a happier place on the next day. But when the research outcome came then completely opposite results were found.

Harder was of the view that participants did not feel happiness on the next day of drinking. As many as 264 people were enrolled in the research and they were aged between 21 and 82 years.

The study helped in knowing that women feels more depressed on the next day of drinking. "These male-female differences are consistent with several reports showing that men and women respond differently to stress, and experience mood and substance use disorders at different rates", said Harder.
