If pregnancy is a teachable moment and a good time to talk to men about their alcohol consumption and there might be programs that we can use to engage with men.
Ever thought about how becoming a father might change a man's drinking habits? This episode of the Alcohol Alert Podcast dives into that very question. Hosted by the Institute of Alcohol Studies, the episode covers a variety of UK alcohol policy topics, but the spotlight is on men's drinking behaviors during fatherhood. Dr.
Elena Dimova shares her review, pointing out the lack of qualitative research in this area and emphasizing the need for more studies to understand how stress can affect men's intentions to adopt healthier habits. You'll also hear about the European Union's ambitious plans to tackle cancer through improved alcohol labeling. And let's not forget the impact of home drinking during the COVID-19 pandemic—something many of us can relate to.
The episode touches on how the lockdowns have changed our relationship with alcohol, for better or worse. But back to fatherhood. Dr. Dimova discusses how pregnancy can be a 'teachable moment' for men, a time when they might be more open to reducing their alcohol consumption. While there's plenty of guidance for women during pregnancy, men often get left out of the conversation. This episode argues that it's high time we include them.
Whether you're a new dad, know someone who is, or are simply interested in how alcohol policies shape our lives, this episode offers valuable insights. Tune in for a blend of expert opinions, personal stories, and thought-provoking discussions.
