How Women Drink

More than 50 percent of women in the United States drink alcohol. In general, they abstain more and drink less frequently than men. Women’s drinking behavior is determined by demographic characteristics, such as age, ethnicity, employment, and marital status, as well as by individual and environmental risk factors.
