{"product_id":"on-the-rocks-susan-d-stewart-9781538127254","title":"On the Rocks: Straight Talk about Women and Drinking","description":"\u003cp\u003eExisting portrayals of women who drink typically fall into two categories: disturbing stories of women hitting \"rock bottom,\" resulting in ruined careers, families, and futures, or amusing stories of fun and harmless \"girls' nights out,\" with women drinking and overindulging as a temporary escape from a never-ending list of work and family demands. Drawing on original research and extensive interviews with a diverse group of women, author Susan Stewart challenges these stereotypes, revealing women's complex relationships with alcohol and factors associated with its use.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn On the Rocks Stewart asks a question others might prefer stay buried: what about women's lives have changed such that they drink more alcohol? Stewart's participants share stories of the many social forces that encourage women to drink: increased marketing of alcohol to women, the growing presence of alcohol in the workplace, pressure to drink from friends and family, and that drinking provides an easy \"time-out\" from children and housework. Stewarts' unvarnished examination of women and drinking challenges readers to think through its implications to individuals, families, and society.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Susan D.
