Why are more women getting DUI's? Are they drinking more now than before because of stress and too much responsibility? (Working moms still should most of the domestic responsiblity and child rearing in most homes.) Is it okay to drink in front of your kids? Has the alcohol-playdate phenomena come and gone (or was it ever there?) When does drinking cross the line from adults being social and a stress relief to alcohol addiction and harm to families.
