I think the more we can talk about things and people can have honest conversations, we're reducing stigma. Anything we can do to try to have more open, honest conversations and give women and adults and their families choices about living the kind of life they really want to live, that's super important.
Why is mommy wine culture so pervasive, and what are its real impacts on women? In this episode of 'The Weekend Sober', Kim and Kezia sit down with Dr. Rachel Sayko Adams, a Research Associate Professor at Boston University School of Public Health. Dr. Adams dives into her extensive research on alcohol use, shedding light on how societal norms and marketing have glamorized drinking among mothers.
She discusses the hidden risks and the often-overlooked consequences that come with this seemingly harmless trend. Dr. Adams, with her rich background in health services research, particularly focuses on high-risk groups like military veterans and individuals with traumatic brain injuries. However, in this episode, she zooms in on the specific challenges faced by women, especially those without children by age 35, who are at a higher risk for binge drinking and alcohol use disorders.
Listeners will find the discussion around social media's role in perpetuating mommy wine culture particularly eye-opening. How do influencers and advertisements shape our perceptions of alcohol use? And what can be done to counteract these influences? Dr. Adams also touches on the sober curious movement and the importance of reducing the stigma associated with choosing a sober lifestyle.
This episode isn't just for those already on a sobriety journey; it's for anyone curious about the impact of alcohol on our lives and the cultural forces at play. Whether you're a parent navigating social pressures or someone interested in the broader implications of alcohol use, this conversation offers valuable insights and encourages a deeper reflection on our relationship with alcohol.
