Female Alcoholics

Paper Summary:

This paper addresses the hypothesis that women are more likely to become alcoholics than men are. It looks at how societal factors are strong indicators of the many issues women still have to fight in the goal to become equal to their male counterparts. It examines how the literature points to the underlying causes of female alcoholism and concludes that women are more prone to alcoholism then men are. It also discusses how there a need for programs designed for the prevention of alcoholism by guiding young females into other methods of addressing frustration and stress, as well as the need for changes in societal attitudes toward women.

From the Paper:

"This topic is important in the business world as well. In the past four decades more women have entered the workforce then ever before in this nation. The positions being held are no longer "female acceptable" jobs, but are a wide range of positions in every conceivable field. If women are more inclined to become alcoholics then men are it is important to know that for the purpose of business support as well. Many companies in the nation provide treatment programs for the purpose of helping alcoholic employees in their desire to recover. Science has shown conclusively that men and women are wired differently in several life areas. Therefore it becomes important to know whether women or men are more prone to become dependent on alcohol so the company can design programs that address each gender need."
