澳大利亚弗洛里神经科学研究所的研究发现，情绪调节是女性暴饮的比男性更强的驱动因素1。由Dr Leigh Walker领导的研究团队通过脑成像发现，女性大脑的情绪调节中枢在暴饮时的激活强度远高于男性，且当这一机制被阻断后，女性的酒精消耗量会显著减少1。
该研究凸显了澳新地区女性饮酒问题的严重性。根据澳大利亚统计局数据，18至24岁的女性中约四分之一每月至少暴饮一次（单次超过四杯）1。2024年弗林德斯大学的研究则表明，超过30万澳洲女性定期以极高风险水平饮酒1。Dr Leigh Walker指出："女性会在许多人未意识到的水平上饮酒，这对她们身体的伤害远比男性要严重得多，这是因为我们的生理差异。"1
Research from Australia's Florey Neuroscience Institute has identified a significant gender difference in the neurological drivers of heavy alcohol consumption.1 Led by Dr Leigh Walker, the research team discovered that the emotion regulation centers in women's brains activate with substantially greater intensity during heavy drinking compared to men's brains.1 When this mechanism was blocked in women, their alcohol consumption decreased.1
The findings carry particular significance for the Australasia region, where women experience the highest rates of heavy drinking and alcohol-related harm globally.1 According to Australian Bureau of Statistics data, between 18 and 24 percent of women aged 18 to 24 engage in heavy drinking—consuming more than four drinks in a single session—at least once per month.1 A 2024 Flinders University study revealed that over 300,000 Australian women regularly drink at extremely high-risk levels.1
Dr Walker emphasized the physiological vulnerability women face, stating: "Women will drink at levels that many don't realise are affecting their body in much worse ways [than men face] because of our physiology."1 The research demonstrates how emotional regulation plays a more dominant role in driving women's hazardous drinking patterns.
