Letter: Use alcohol responsibly Published: April 30, 2021, 6:15am Share: For more than a decade, the American Medical Women’s Association (AMWA) has recognized Alcohol Awareness Month by talking about moderate drinking and alcohol abuse.

This year, AMWA follows the lead of the Foundation for Advancing Alcohol Responsibility in marking April Alcohol Responsibility Month.

Why are recommendations different for males and females? Many think body weight, but other factors matter too (e.g., females have less water in their bodies than males, so, drinking the same amount, females can reach higher blood alcohol concentrations).
