Aside from the reasons offered earlier, doctors have other interesting
reasons for the escalation in woman's drinking. They also indict the
social acceptance and indifference to the alcohol's potential dangers
of contributory factors. If women realized the harmful extent of 
cumulative effects of alcohol, they would tapper off in their public

survey showed evidence of liver damage, and a quarter of the whole 
group had a high white-blood-cell count. Almost five percent of the
patient died shortly after their release from hospital.
