This article was written by Kristen Pyszczyk on December 3, 2018. This article is stating that excessive alcohol use in women is a serious public health issue in Canada. Some women in the professional world choose to drink so they can fit in with their male colleagues ,but this could easily led to alcohol problems. This article is enforcing the fact that gender inequality can't be fixed by "equal drinking".Also, mommy juice" is a term used for alcohol for mothers with hectic schedules and need a break.This is how they advertise this to women; however, for men, Liquor is advertised to have adventures and get a girl.
This article reminds me of the temperace movement because it was about women who tried to stop men from drinking excessively. Now, it is the other way around and women are drinking excessively. This is interesting to hear because men have always been known to drink more then women and now that is changing (in Canada). I feel like women are drinking more because they are working more ,so they consume alcohol to wind down or to be less stress. This article was written to inform people about the change and to hopefully encourage some women to stop drinking excessively .I hope that the amount of women (and people in general) drinking alcohol will decrease soon.

Very interesting article and great connection. Good work!!
ReplyDeleteI think that this so true! It could call life long problems and women shouldn’t have to put themselves through that just to be seen as a equal to a man.
ReplyDeleteWhen will inequality not be a problem?

This is true because even in commercials on tv we see the men with beer trying to get a girl.
ReplyDeleteIt is sad that some people are not aware that everyone is equal when you look at the word woman and man woman still has man in it which means we have the same rights as you
ReplyDeleteI really like your connection to the temperance movement. I would never have thought of that comparison, but it really makes me think. Mary Kate Madden
