Studies show that women start to have alcohol-related problems at lower drinking levels than men do, partly because women weigh less than men.
In order for alcohol to significantly lower testosterone, a person would have to drink 120 grams of alcohol, which is equivalent to 10 beers; this amount will lower testosterone by over 20%, for up to 16 hours after the binge drinking episode, according to a recent government medical study.
Britain's brewery giant Scottish & Newcastle are addressing binge drinking by voluntarily placing health warnings on their beer bottles.
Genetics: Alcoholism is a complex health issue. Therefore, there are likely to be many genes involved in increasing a person's risk for alcoholism. Scientists are searching for these genes, and have found areas on chromosomes where they are probably located. Powerful new techniques may permit researchers to identify and measure the specific contribution of each gene to the complex behaviors associated with heavy drinking. This research will provide the basis for new medications to treat alcohol-related problems.
