Women and Alcohol Dependence

A subject that is often overlooked in women's health is that of substance addiction, particularly alcohol abuse and alcoholism.

Depending on what study and research you review, most of them conclude the same results: women's rates of alcohol use is climbing (in number of drinks per week), and the number of women who are choosing to drink (instead of abstain) is also increasing.

Energy Drinks: OK in Moderation? Mixed with Alcohol?

58

Do you use any energy drinks? If so, have you had any positive results? I understand the excessive amount of caffeine and sugar aren't considered "healthy", but in moderation are they OK?

I've also heard of energy drinks being mixed with alcohol. Is this OK? (since the alcohol is considered a "depressant" and the energy drink is more "stimulating"...do they kind of cancel each other out?)
