Did you know that the average body (male or female), processes alcohol at the rate of 1 drink per hour? Whether you’re fat or thin, the processing speed stays the same. What does differ, though, is the blood alcohol level, known as BAC (blood alcohol content) between the sexes. What sex you are has a …
Are you on the fence about quitting drinking cold turkey, or fancy doing an alcohol cleanse? Both work. But it depends on what you’re trying to achieve.
