Alcohol the harmful substance generally people intake in their lives. But according to the research at the European College Of Neuropsychopharmacology that heavy intake of alcohol may put men at a higher risk than compared to women.

The research also suggests that the heavy intake of alcohol can change brain functions and these changes significantly different in men and women. The team of researchers also did the activity where they divided two groups one was of the small group of young men and women who indulge heaving drinking for 10 years, and the group was off again the group of young men and women who had negligible or no alcohol use.

"We found more changes in brain electrical activity in male subjects, than in females, which was a surprise, as we expected it would be the other way around. This means that male brain electrical functioning is changed more than female brains with long-term alcohol use," said Outi Kaarre from the University of Eastern Finland and Kuopio University Hospital, Finland. 

"There are two types of GABA receptors, A and B. Long-term alcohol use affects neurotransmission through both types in males, but only one type, GABA-A, is affected in females," Kaarre added.

"We know from animal studies that GABA-A receptor activity seems to affect drinking patterns, whereas GABA-B receptors seem to be involved in the overall desire for alcohol. It has been suggested that women and men may respond differently to alcohol. Our work offers a possible mechanism to these differences," Kaarre concluded.

The research shows that women and men respond differently to the desire of intake of alcohol.
