The Alcohol Free Social Life!

I would like to include this interesting video from YouTube about real-life women and their alcohol problems. What is interesting here is how common some of these drinking issues are and most importantly how some of these problems start and continue gradually. 

Here is the description of the video from the Research Channel on YouTube:

This program by the National Institues of Health features narratives of seven women recovering from problems with alcohol. These stories make it clear that it’s possible to miss danger signs and that social drinking can become problem drinking, which in turn can evolve into addiction. Abuse and alcoholism are often perceived as problems that only affect men, but alcoholism has been on the rise among women for the last 30 years.

Although I don’t necessarily agree with the term alcoholism - heavy drinking or alcohol addiction I believe are better words - because they can be broken and are in your control to deal with, I still think this video raises some important life stories and challenges.
