Are you drinking
TOO MUCH?
You might think a glass of wine is the perfect way to unwind. But, beware, a
growing number of women are crossing the fine line into alcohol dependence...

H

ave you ever watched one of
those 'binge Britain' TV shows
and cringed at the young girls
falling over in the street,
paralytic after a night out?
Thank goodness you've grown
out of that, you think, as you
cuddle up on the sofa and sip at a large glass of red.
You don't drink that much, right?
Well, you may be surprised to hear that reaching for
that second glass officially constitutes a 'binge', according
to the Department of Health. Whether you realise it or
not, you could be drinking enough to harm your health.
'People normalise heavy drinking,' says Moira Plant,
emeritus professor of alcohol studies at the University
of West of England. 'They tend to overestimate what
everyone else drinks. They say, "I don't drink as much
as my friends, so it's OK."'

An everyday habit

In fact, drinking alcohol has become more than OK
- it's become the social norm. The people who make it
and sell it say that drinking is fun, glamorous and that
everyone's doing it. So, of course you want to join the
party - even if that party is only in your own living room.
Stay-at-home drinking has increased by 33% since
1992*, as alcohol is used as a comfort blanket, a crutch and
a release mechanism. In addition, alcohol is becoming
cheaper - it was 61% more affordable in 2013 than in
1980**. With booze so readily available around the
clock, it can be all too easy to succumb to the temptation
to use alcohol to celebrate, unwind or ease your ails.
But then things start to escalate: that celebratory glass
turns into three; you and a friend share a bottle over dinner;
you order a few bottles with your weekly shop and crack
into one before it even hits the fridge... Before you know it,
you're regularly drinking way more than the Department
of Health guidelines of 14 units per week (or two to three
units a day). That daily allowance equates to just one
standard 175ml glass of 13% (alcohol by volume) wine
(two units), two or three single measures of spirits (one
unit each), or one pint of beer or cider (two units each).
A recent report showed that 53% of women drink at
least 14 units a week. Almost half of those (24%) admitted
to drinking double the recommended amount; and

DR
CHRISTIAN
SAYS

'Remember, alcohol
is a depressant. If
you get home and
instantly open a
bottle, what is it
you are trying
to numb away?
Address the issue
first and foremost
and enjoy drinking
when you're
in control.'
