Zero-alcohol beverages: Harm-minimisation tool or gateway drink?

Mia Miller et al.

Summary: Zero-alcohol beverages, with <= 0.5% alcohol by volume, are gaining popularity, but there is insufficient evidence to support their substitution for regular strength beverages. Challenges in marketing, including access by minors and lack of evidence on the impact on social norms, highlight the need for more research to inform policy-making.

'What makes up wine o'clock? Understanding social practices involved in alcohol use among women aged 40-65 years in Australia

Cassandra J. C. Wright et al.

Summary: This study explores the meanings and motivations behind alcohol consumption among women aged 40-65 years. The findings indicate that women have nuanced perspectives on alcohol use, with different meanings attached to different contexts. While weekday drinking is seen as rational and measured, weekend drinking is strongly tied to social connection. The study suggests that prevention efforts focusing on social connection, relaxation, and changing the discourse on alcohol's role in women's social lives may be effective in reducing women's alcohol consumption.

Double shifts, double trouble: Alcohol as a problematic panacea for working mothers

Gabriel Caluzzi et al.

Summary: This article focuses on alcohol consumption among midlife women, particularly working mothers who face the dual responsibility of work and domestic duties. It highlights the unique stresses they experience and suggests that their drinking behavior may be influenced by these pressures. The lack of literature on the drinking patterns, practices, and motives of working mothers is emphasized, along with the potential impact of gendered expectations on their health.

Social Class and Changes in Australian Women's Affect and Alcohol Consumption During COVID-19

Belinda Lunnay et al.

Summary: This study used survey data and a multidimensional model to analyze affective states and alcohol consumption patterns in mid-life women in Australia during COVID-19. Results showed differences in affective states and alcohol consumption patterns across social classes, with the highest capital classes showing higher fear/anxiety and depression levels. The findings suggest that pandemic responses and mental health interventions should consider the nuanced differences in affective states and alcohol consumption among sub-groups of mid-life women.

COVID-19, Alcohol Consumption and Stockpiling Practises in Midlife Women: Repeat Surveys During Lockdown in Australia and the United Kingdom

Emma R. Miller et al.

Summary: This project found that during COVID-19, middle-aged women in the UK had more serious alcohol consumption issues than those in Australia, and residing in the UK independently predicted alcohol stockpiling. Negative emotional responses (such as depression, pessimism, and fear/anxiety) were found to predict alcohol stockpiling behavior in middle-aged women. However, having tertiary education was protective against alcohol stockpiling.

Alcohol and Flourishing for Australian Women in Midlife: A Qualitative Study of Negotiating (Un)Happiness

Kristen M. Foley et al.

Summary: This article examines the alcohol use behavior of 35 Australian women in midlife and reanalyzes the data from the perspective of Neo-Aristotlean notions of flourishing to explore the impact of alcohol consumption on the happiness of middle-aged women. The study suggests that the changing structures of feeling among women in midlife lead to different emotions attached to alcohol use, providing new insights into how women use alcohol to cope with happiness and unhappiness during this life stage.

Deflecting Privilege: Class Identity and the Intergenerational Self

Sam Friedman et al.

Summary: Through origin stories that downplay their own privileged backgrounds and forge connections to working-class extended family histories, individuals from privileged class backgrounds create a self-identity that deflects and obscures their class privilege. They construct a narrative of upward mobility 'against the odds' that erases the structural privileges that have influenced their trajectory.
