Until a few years ago, it was said that for every 10 alcoholic men there was a woman with this problem. However, the figures show that the number of women between 12 and 30 who have consumed alcohol It has doubled in recent years.

These data reflect that women consume alcohol more and more frequently and at an early age, as an outlet for the pressures arising from their work, school or at home. Each time they have less time for activities such as, for example, the care of children and the home, tasks that should be shared by both members of the couple and not just assumed by them.
