{"product_id":"9798881800147","title":"On the Rocks : Straight Talk about Women and Drinking","description":"\u003cp\u003eExisting portrayals of women who drink typically fall into two categories: disturbing stories of women hitting \"rock bottom,\" resulting in ruined careers, families, and futures, or amusing stories of fun and harmless \"girls' nights out,\" with women drinking and overindulging as a temporary escape from a never-ending list of work and family demands. Drawing on original research and extensive interviews with a diverse group of women, author Susan Stewart challenges these stereotypes, revealing women's complex relationships with alcohol and factors associated with its use.\n\u003cbr\u003eIn On the Rocks Stewart asks a question others might prefer stay buried: what about women's lives have changed such that they drink more alcohol? Stewart's participants share stories of the many social forces that encourage women to drink: increased marketing of alcohol to women, the growing presence of alcohol in the workplace, pressure to drink from friends and family, and that drinking provides an easy \"time-out\" from children and housework. Stewarts' unvarnished examination of women and drinking challenges readers to think through its implications to individuals, families, and society.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Rowman \u0026 Littlefield","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48861938876651,"sku":"00000_00000_00000_00000","price":45.68,"currency_code":"SGD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0758\/4484\/5803\/files\/9798881800147-1.jpg?v=1781776138","url":"https:\/\/kinokuniya.com.sg\/products\/9798881800147","provider":"Books Kinokuniya Singapore","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
