Alcohol Disorders For Females Increasing

A recent review slated to be published in the journal Alcoholism: Clinical & Experimental Research , shows that alcohol disorders among women are on the rise.

While the journal doesn’t specifically pinpoint why alcohol disorders among women are increasing, it suggests that social and financial environments may increase the risk of alcoholism.

“Alcoholism among women can increase risk factors in other areas of their lives,” begins a spokesperson for Mountainside Drug Rehab and Alcohol Treatment Center . “For example, women who are heavy drinkers are more vulnerable to sexual violence. In addition, they have greater risk of chronic diseases associated with excessive alcohol consumption. Since alcoholism among females is on the increase, it’s important to turn our focus to prevention and education at a public health level so, at the very least, we increase awareness of the risks to this particular group.”

Many scientists agree that heavy drinking among females poses specific social and health risks to women. As a result of the difference in weight and body size among men and women, females are likely to become more intoxicated than a man consuming the same amount of alcohol. In addition, females metabolize alcohol differently than men, further highlighting the challenges women face when deciding to drink, even on a social level.

Nearly 18 million adults and children in the United States are affected by alcoholism and its related problems. If you feel that you or a loved one has gone beyond social drinking to a more serious problem, Mountainside Drug Rehab and Alcohol Treatment Center can help with professional intervention services that are specialized to each person’s unique situation.
