I think there's actually an even amount of women and men addicts. Addiction affects us all the same and we all have approximately the same chances of developing an addiction.

I actually know more women addicts than men. I know 5 women and only 2 men. But I think women can hide it more.

I know more men than women addicts. I know a lot of alcoholic men and quite a few addicts. But only a few women who are addicted.

I think it depends which generation you're looking at. It seems like the older generations have more men addicts than women. And in the younger generations, like teenagers and people in their 20s and 30s, there is an even amount.
