Ann Dowsett Johnston joins us today to discuss a Tricky Situation – Alcohol and Women. Why is this a female-specific issue? It turns out that women drink because of stress much more than men do, and now alcoholic beverages have become marketed specifically to women. There is no real health link between alcohol and our hearts, and in fact there is a link between alcohol and cancer. So, why are we drinking so much? It’s OKAY to look at this question of WHY. Instead of “I deserve this,” ask the question “what is it costing me?” Ann will explain these concepts and so much more in this podcast.
