You have probably heard it being whispered that girls used to cook like their mothers, but now they drink like their fathers. Not all fathers drink. But girls and women of today have normalised drinking and are slowly closing the gender gap in alcohol consumption. They have actually caught up with men. It's getting to 1:1.
Alcohol used to be a man's thing, lifestyle. Gone are the days. Alcohol stopped being masculine and it's become more and more feminine as the years go by. Women now walk in liquor stores to buy alcohol for house parties and it's normal. They know almost every alcoholic beverage. They consume beers freely and bravely pop open wine corks in pubs then drink 'til the cocks crow. Dry. With dry eyes!
