Women suffer more serious, more rapid, or specific damage from alcohol, such as breast cancer, according to the French National Authority for Health (HAS). Healthcare professionals must be made aware of this issue. By addressing the subject without moral judgment, they can help women understand and reduce their risks.
The goal is to inform about the risks while showing that it is possible to reduce them without radically changing one's lifestyle. Alcohol has hormonal, sexual, and carcinogenic impacts. Even light consumption carries risks.
Anxiety, depression, and sexual trauma promote alcohol consumption among women, who are subject to stressful norms. They often use antidepressants or alcohol to regulate their discomfort. Domestic violence and sexual assault are also linked to alcohol, according to Marie-Olivia Chandesris of the HAS.
