Drinking With The GirlsDrinking With The Girls, showing Tuesday April 21st on BBC 3 at 9:00pmDocumentary in which Cherry Chadwyck-Healey explores women's attitudes to alcohol and finds out exactly why women use and, in some cases, abuse the bottle in Britain. Statistics show that women in England and Ireland are reported to be the biggest drinkers in the world, drinking up to 11 times more than their German or Italian sisters. In this documentary, Cherry goes on seven nights out with seven women who embody the seven ages of drinking. Cherry joins these women at seven very different stages of life, drinks their tipple of choice in their environment, and looks behind the statistics to understand their reasons for drinking large amounts.The seven stages identified in are: Underagers; Student Boozers; 20s Pullers; 30s celebrations; the 40 something Mums; Midlifers; and Grannies. What factors are at play in each of these seven stages? Is it the traditional British reserve, a chance to pull, peer pressure, more responsibility, more disposable income, more excuses for celebrations, an escape from the stresses of life, a confidence boost or a break from the boredom of life?
