Key result
A moderate dose of whisky resulted in significantly higher maximum blood-alcohol values, disappearance rates, and adrenaline excretion in females compared to males.
Why the study?
Does a moderate dose of alcohol affect blood-alcohol concentration, catecholamine excretion, heart rate, and subjective reactions differently in males and females?

Women may need lower alcohol doses; leaves open sex differences in catecholamine responses.
Does a moderate dose of alcohol affect blood-alcohol concentration, catecholamine excretion, heart rate, and subjective reactions differently in males and females?
Following a moderate dose of alcohol, females exhibit higher peak blood-alcohol levels, faster clearance, greater adrenaline excretion, and more negative subjective reactions compared to males.
Myrsten et al. (1975) studied this question. Whisky vs. Control condition was evaluated on Blood-alcohol concentration, catecholamine excretion, heart rate, and subjective reactions. A moderate dose of whisky resulted in significantly higher maximum blood-alcohol values, disappearance rates, and adrenaline excretion in females compared to males.
