When everyone jokes about “mommy wine,” it can be harder to notice when drinking has become a serious concern, and even harder for a woman to ask for help without fear of judgment.
A Boston University School of Public Health study published October 14 found that in 2024, binge drinking rates among women ages 18–25 exceeded men’s for the first time. Yet more than 40% of treatment facilities don’t offer women-specific care, and just 4.6% provide childcare. Trauma-informed services and telehealth can also be harder to find where women’s need is greatest.
If you’re worried about your wife, mother, sister, or daughter, start with a private, caring conversation. Share what you’ve noticed, speak from concern, and listen without labeling or shaming. You don’t have to figure out the next steps alone.
