Abstract:
It is well known that the prevalence of alcohol use disorders is increasing and represents an important health problem worldwide. Nonetheless, there are an insufficient number of population-based prevalence studies on alcohol use disorders among the general population and women in Turkey. Among the studies performed in Turkey, it has been reported that alcohol use disorders are more common among males and that alcohol use among females is increasing, as in other countries. The alcohol use among females differs from males' in many respects. The purpose of this article was to review the physical differences between males and females relevant to the metabolism of alcohol, and to organic and mental problems caused by alcohol use. In addition we sought to draw attention to the necessity for effective preventative and treatment methods for women.

Alcohols from Carbonyl Compounds: Reduction
Catalytic hydrogenation is similar to the reduction of an alkene or alkyne by adding H2 across the pi bond in the presence of transition metal catalysts like Raney Ni, Pd–C, Pt, or Ru. Aldehydes and ketones can be reduced by this method, often under mild to moderate heat (25–100°C) and...

Protection
It defines a protecting group as the masking agent to make the more reactive species inert to a given set of conditions. This concept is depicted via the illustration of liquid flow through different outlets in an assembly of pipes. The analogy helps to understand the role...

Preparation of Alcohols via Addition Reactions
The acid-catalyzed addition of water to the double bond of alkenes is a large-scale industrial method used to synthesize low-molecular-weight alcohols. An acidic atmosphere is required to allow the hydrogen in the water molecule to act as an electrophile and attack the double bond in an alkene. The addition of a proton to the double bond creates a carbocation intermediate. The proton preferentially bonds to the less substituted end of the double bond to create a more stable carbocation...
