Alcohol: What Women Need to Know

How are Nutrition and Alcohol linked and why is it important?


Sex differences in drinking habits have narrowed as women's drinking patterns have become more similar to men's. However, women appear more sensitive to the negative health effects of alcohol.


Drinking alcohol at high levels has profound impacts on nutritional status and health - but do the links with diet and food choices work both ways?

  • Does better nutrition reduce desire or cravings for alcohol?
  • And could dietary and nutritional support help achieve recovery from excessive alcohol use?


Find out how dietary interventions could help women (and men) who want to reduce their drinking – or achieve an alcohol-free lifestyle.
