| I don't get it. Is poison generally sex-dependent? |

| Sometimes, yes. For example: https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC5677564/ |

| Some of their side effects can obviously be sex-dependent thus this study. |

| I don't know. If it's not a poison, why do they call it "alcohol poisoning"? Go figure it out. |

| ▲ | tombert 2 days ago | parent | next [-] | | There's "poisoning" from lots of stuff that we wouldn't traditionally classify as "poison", like water [1] or oxygen [2]. I am not a chemist or a doctor, but I think the common adage is "it's the dose that makes the poison". Most stuff is bad for you if you get too much of it.

| ▲ | recursive 2 days ago | parent | prev [-] | | What? Maybe I was unclear. I'm not saying it's not a poison. It seems like I walked into some entrenched debate and I don't even know what it is. Is it obvious that alcohol has sex specific effects? I didn't know. Is this some kind of culture war thing? |
