one potential reason why women and certain ethnic groups are significantly affected by alcohol is because

Explanation:

Aldehyde dehydrogenase is an enzyme that helps break down alcohol - related compounds. Women and certain ethnic groups produce less of this enzyme, leading to a greater impact of alcohol.

Answer:

They produce less aldehyde dehydrogenase than other groups.
