Business Insider reports women's drinking habits have fundamentally changed over the past twenty years.
A new study has found that women have been dying more frequently because of alcohol-related issues over the past two decades.
According to the National Institute on Alcoholism and Alcohol abuse, alcohol-related deaths increased among women by 85%.
In other words, 7,662 women died in 1999 because of alcohol, compared to 18,072 women in 2017.
Alcohol does harm women more than it harms men, leading to cancers and heart disease.
The study also found that the deaths were more frequent among white, middle-aged women.
