Men are more likely to become alcoholics than women because of a hormone in the body called dopamine. Dopamine has a pleasurable affect on the body that is released during exciting events. During a study where male and female drinkers consumed alcohol, it was found that men released a greater amount of dopamine than women. The increase of dopamine in males was found in an area of the brain that is associated with pleasure, reinforcement and addiction formation. This shows that men carry a greater risk of forming an addiction to alcohol due to the release of dopamine.

This information is exciting because it is a step foward in alcholism research. In my opinion, finding out that men are more prone to alcohol than women is very interesting. Finding this out could reduce the number of alcoholics in the world. Alcoholism leads to many other problems such as domestic abuse, child abuse, drug abuse, and fatalities due to drunk driving. Reducing the number of alcoholics will make our world a much safer and happy environment for everyone.
