Women Taking Alcohol/Drinks Good or Bad

Now a days Taking Alcoholic drinks among the women from the indian subcontinent and indian orgin women living abroad is steadily increasing.some they take alcoholic drinks for fun, some take while going to parties with friends or office parties. it is really sad to see women following the western fashion and compete with men to drink and spoil their health. do you all accept women drinking in our society post your views.

some of the recent studies which show women drinking alcohol are vulnerable to get into health problem.

Alcoholic liver disease: Women develop alcoholic liver disease more quickly and after drinking less alcohol than men. Women are more likely than men to develop alcoholic hepatitis (liver inflammation) and to die from cirrhosis.

Brain disease: Research suggests that women are more vulnerable than men to alcohol–induced brain damage.

Cancer: Many studies report that drinking increases the risk of breast cancer. Alcohol is also linked to cancers of the head and neck (the risk is especially high in smokers who also drink heavily) and the digestive tract.

Heart disease: drinking is a leading cause of cardiovascular disease. Among drinkers, men and women have similar rates of alcohol–related heart disease, even though women drink less alcohol over a lifetime than men.

I appreciate this topic - men or women , Eastern or Western - alcohol
consumption is a bad habit . What starts as social drinking ends up
to be an obsession. Other than the physical ailments that can be
caused, the psychological impact on others around an abuser is
monumental. Kids get to watch the parents drinking and loosing
control - what kind of childhood those kids have?? And what will
they be when they grow old? And if a mother is breast feeding, the
infant gets a dose right from the time they are born?? Appalling !!!

women a iruntha enna men a iruntha enna kudi kudi than ithula ennapa ponunga drinking nu topic🤪

What I find somewhat hard to digest is the fact that many of the Indian women here seem to enjoy a drink or two and ask for their gin and tonic or whatever the minute they enter a house. The hypocrisy is that some of these women have said that alcohol should not be allowed in their houses and keep the alcohol in the garage in their houses. I sit and wonder why there is a need for this hypocrisy. I have even seen some of them refusing drinks when their parents or inlaws come to this country, and then going back to their drinks when the parents go back.

hmm...I understand what a lot of you are getting at here, but forgive me for thinking there's nothing wrong in having a drink or two - whether you're a woman or a man!
maybe this is because I am born and bred in England, where drinking is like breathing - on your 18th bday, you are expected to go out and 'get smashed', which is the terminology for getting totally drunk. when watching the football or cricket, people will get the beer out from the fridge. uni students are the worst when it comes to drinking! now, i do NOT champion that at all, but when you have a drink, and it doesnt affect you, and you are strong enough to resist getting drunk, i see no harm in drinking.

but then there is the question - how do you know whether or not you are strong enough to give in to alcoholism? is it worth the risk? well i reckon, it's up to the individual to make that decision. we are human beings, not animals for that reason!

in our culture, alcohol is portrayed as very nasty, even in films and serials. a good woman would never be shown with a wine glass in her hand!😲 whereas in britain, alcohol sells like crazy, no matter who you are. (one good thing i would like to point out about the UK, is that I have never felt pressured to drink because my friends are - you are accepted if you stick to orange juice as well). i like to think of myself as somewhere in the middle of both cultures!

Laksh, there was a time early on in my marriage, when my BIL thought it was funny (??) that I refused to drink and said that he would not leave till I had the drink, so I told him he would probably never return to his home, in that case. Doesn't that sound like one of these horrible serials? Incidentally, I did taste beer once, and that was purely by accident, when I thought it was Sprite and I found it to be so vile tasting that I have never even wanted to taste it since then.
