Subject: How does and why does alcohol do what it does to one's body?

I am doing a large position paper on the effects of alcohol and having 
trouble finding information on the Physiological effects of alcohol on the 
body. Do you know anything about the short-term and long term effects of 
alcohol on the body and the differences in how it effects men and women? i 
need to know in detail how when alcohol enters the body how it effects 
immeadiately the different organs and why. what causes the different 
symptoms like loss of sight, slurring of words, hinderance of motor skills 
and etc. why would alcohol effect a man or woman's body in different ways-
is it hormones or genetic materials that determine this? i basically need 
any information regarding the physiological effects of alcohol! thank you 
for your time it is greatly appreciated because this is a difficult topic!
