Men, as the dominant gender, were able to buy beer to drink, which was not contaminated with cholera, while women were left only with contaminated water to drink. The men did not do this to avoid cholera (not even knowing what caused cholera) but they did it because they loved beer. Ironically, even a vice sometimes will work to your advantage. Fortunately, we now have safe drinking water, at least in the developed world. And in the undeveloped world, smart people boil their water and make tea, killing bacteria in the process.

You will not get the cholera by breathing the cholera bacilli. They can infect the gut only. You may get immunized to cholera. But immunity to cholera is short lasting and is not very effective as well. By injecting dead cholera bacilli you get the immunity for cholera.
