An Age-Old Question Answered

Here's a fun tidbit from The Book of Liz. Women get drunk faster than men because we are lacking an enzyme in our stomachs that breaks down alcohol. This means that 100% of the alcohol women drink ends up in the blood stream, while about half of the alcohol men consume gets broken down in the stomach. I'm not making this up...I promise. http://www.time.com/time/magazine/article/0,9171,153672,00.html
