Disadvantages for Drunk Driving Penalties
A female drinker even if she is the same height and weight
as a male drinker will get a 20-25% higher blood alcohol
level from the same drink.

Reason why :
Males are bigger than female.
Female has 25% higher body fat level than a man thus
making the alcohol in the female body more alcohol
absorbed into the blood volume than males since the
male muscles dilute the alcohol more.

Solution for women drinking limit
Instead of calculating a .02 blood alcohol for every beer,
drink or glass of wine. They should really calculate .035
for every drink.
Its rare for women who can rely on being under the limit if
she has more than two drinks in an hour. But regardless
of gender, no one should ever drink under the influence
of alcohol for coming up next is the type of penalties for
drunk driving.
