Yikes: Women and alcohol make for a deadly mix. New research shows that women are drinking more, and those in their thirties and forties are surpassing men in the amount of alcohol they consume. While men are still more likely to die from alcohol-related disease, the gap is narrowing.
“It’s legal, readily available, and not so taboo in society, so women feel less worry drinking,” an addiction psychiatry specialist tells us.
Alcohol consumption by women also raises the risk of breast cancer, immune system disorders, fertility problems, and early menopause. Here’s to non-alcoholic beverages. Cheers!
