Abstract:
At the same level of consumption as men, specific vulnerabilities often expose women to the more rapid onset of more serious illnesses (cardiovascular and liver diseases, cancers, brain and cognitive damage, sleep disorders, risk of accidents, etc.). This worrying fact is still little known by the general population. Special prevention measures are needed, such as dedicated campaigns for women, specific guidelines for lower-risk drinking, systematic early detection of risky drinking among women, and brief intervention in the event of problem drinking.
