Women, Wine, and the Marketing Trap: A Chat with Erin Moore
The way alcohol has been marketed to women, especially in my age group and in The Twenties and the thirties and The Last Five To Years. Like I was building all of these relationships from scratch and it was perfectly acceptable to drink in The Middle Of The Day and, much to my delight, if it was a play group or if it was a mommy you know like, which is so bizarre when you think about it.
Mike and Nat are back with another compelling episode of 'Recovery in the Middle Ages', where they tackle a topic that's been flying under the radar for too long: the marketing of alcohol to women. Joined by Erin Moore, the conversation dives into how alcohol ads are increasingly targeting women, often wrapped in a pink bow and dubbed 'mommy wine culture'. Is this trend putting women at greater risk for alcohol-related health issues?
Erin offers her perspective and shares eye-opening insights into the unique challenges women face in the world of addiction and recovery. Nat also recounts a memorable Super Bowl incident that underscores the daily struggles of staying sober. This episode isn't just about facts and figures; it's filled with personal stories and reflections that make it relatable and engaging. Plus, don't miss the weekly round-up, Recovery in the News, and some quirky 'Week in Weird' segments.
If you've ever felt pressured by social norms or curious about the impact of alcohol marketing, this episode is a must-listen.
