Alcohol Consumption and Women’s Health

Status – CURRENT

The Australian Longitudinal Study on Women’s Health (ALSWH) regularly collects information about women’s health and health behaviors, including their consumption of alcohol. Drinking alcohol at risky levels increases the likelihood of illness, hospitalisation and death. But while heavy drinking has negative health, social and  economic implications, there may be some benefits from low alcohol consumption.
