About this webinar:

Alcohol consumption is a heavily gendered activity, having long been associated with men. Historically, alcohol research focused on men’s drinking and most studies used men as the prototype for typical drinking behaviours. However, our recent research has found a disproportionate focus on women’s alcohol consumption over the past decade. This webinar will explore how we study men and women’s alcohol consumption and unpack any differences.
