Random musing from a 40+ F who drinks occasionally but not wine. All of the female alcoholics I’ve ever known were primarily wine drinkers. 🤔 Is this true for other people or just a random coincidence in the pool of alcoholic females in my life?

I think you're on to something there, but the important caveat is female alcoholics who are 30+.

Wine seems to be a little easier on the body generally than beer or liquor.

Wine-drunk also doesn't seem to obliterate inhibitions the same way liquor does.

Wrong. I have absolutely managed to ruin my life on wine.

Checks out. I feel like wine has less stigma (read: classier, pairs w food etc) and it’s hard to gauge how much someone is drinking (one glass could easily be two glasses depending on how much you pour).

The woman next to me on my flight today was downing mini bottles of vodka at 8:30am. I’m not 100% sure she was an alcoholic, but I suspect it.
I assume many alcoholics start their unhealthy relationship with alcohol in high school or college where they probably drink liquor. Wine then becomes more socially acceptable as they age.

I’ve been on the bench with J1 for about 3 months.

Thinking about looking for a role on a project with J1 that’s not along my career path but will allow for me to do work with no calls so that I can manage both jobs. Does anyone have experience or advice?

I'm a female attorney in a small town where we have 2 other female attorneys and a few female doctors (vast majority are male). I've noticed a cliche among non professional women in this town (primarily lifestyle coaches, pyramid schemers, batistas, and spa workers). After talking to another female attorney in my town, she said she also noticed this and felt like some of these women felt intimidated so they excluded us or ignored us at social functions. Has anyone else experienced this?

Hi fishes - I (24M) have been online dating (hinge) off and on for about 9 months now. I’ve went on about 12 dates, 5 of those with the same person. The other 7-ish have been one-offs and either them or I didn’t want a 2nd. I find it difficult to connect with people on these as I’ve always preferred the “friend -> romance” path in some capacity. I also find that browsing the app just makes me feel… bad. Anyone else experiencing this? Would love advice on places to meet people in person! thank u❤️
