[Epidemiology of alcohol consumption among women].
In the past 20 years, the lifestyles of the Italian population have changed radically, especially those of women, who have adopted behavioural models traditionally associated with men. One of the most important changes has been the increasing number of women who smoke, and more recently, those who drink, habits that can be considered to reflect the changing role of women in society yet which obviously have an important impact on the health status of the female population.
