Stewart has interviewed over 600 women of all ethnicities and income levels to provide answers to that question.
Women Who Drink addresses the growing public health crisis of alcohol use, overuse, and abuse among American women. Although women drink less alcohol than do men, the gender gap is rapidly closing. The question is, what aspects of women's lives have changed such that they drink more alcohol? Author Susan D. Stewart has interviewed over 600 women of all ethnicities and income levels to provide answers to that question. This book also explores the effects of alcohol use by women on their marriage, family, and work, and concludes with a groundbreaking chapter on the future implications if the percentages of women drinking continue to increase.
