We found that the habits, thoughts about and consumption of alcohol among the women did not differ particularly from the research already done on the subject. All women could find differences in alcohol behaviour between the sexes in one or many of their social spheres. According to social construction theory, drinking could never be a natural occurrence, therefore gender differences could not be explained by natural causes either. Our findings show that the differences could only be explained by social and historic constructions. (Less)
