Women and Alcohol





Alcoholism has become an increasing problem amongst
the youth of our nation. Women especailly face a greater

risk of becoming a victim of sexual abuse, or alchoic related
health issues. In fact a new study from the United Kingdom.
has found that two thirds of women have reported to drinking
so much that they woke up the next morning with no memory
of the night before. What is so frightening about this study is
that more and more women are facing sexual assults because
they over indulge in alcohol. Some women are even unaware
that they were victims of sexual abuse. In many ways alcohol
has victimized women. With shows such as "Girls Gone Wild"
women are viewed as being attractive when drunk. There is
not much television content that uplifts women. So women continue
to be victims.
