Alcohol isn’t feminine or feminist; it’s a cage disguised as a celebration.
Lee Davy takes you on a journey to explore the pressures that lead many women to drink. With a cup of tea in hand, Lee talks candidly about how alcohol has become a coping mechanism for women juggling multiple roles and responsibilities. It's not about enjoying a drink but rather about seeking relief from the overwhelming pressures of life.
He unpacks how societal norms and marketing have cleverly packaged alcohol as empowerment and connection, creating a narrative that encourages women to drink. The episode dives into the biological and emotional impacts of drinking, highlighting how it disproportionately affects women, increasing health risks such as liver failure and breast cancer. Lee's discussion isn't just aimed at women; it's also a call to men to step up and support their partners more effectively.
By understanding the root causes of drinking, both genders can learn to reclaim their energy and live more authentically without alcohol. With humour and empathy, Lee invites listeners to question what they truly seek when they reach for a drink and offers insights on living a self-led, alcohol-free life. This episode is a must-listen for anyone who wants to understand the complex relationship between women and alcohol and find healthier ways to cope with life's challenges.
