Is it just me, or is there something about women that are in their forties that drink vodka?

You seem to be forgetting one slight contributing factor...

M E N O P A U S E

Hormones all over the place. Stay well clear.

Hey, I take this as being a tiny bit prejudiced against that age group. As most of the answers have as well.

Man, you must be hanging out or meeting with the wrong women. Find some one that has a life besides the bottle.

I find that the women I know, me included, seldom drink at all.

If and when we do, it may be a glass of wine at a special dinner or a wine cooler...

Do not judge all by those who you meet.

its called Alcoholism and its actually a disease in the brain, not just middle aged women get it, both my parents are alcoholic and it causes horrible problems obviously for their health but also childrens mental health e.g. little or no self esteem, self harming behaviour, low communication skills etc.

Alcoholics will not always admit their problem, acknowledging it is the first step to recovering from the problem, if they are in denial then no one ca help them, not until they admit they have a problem, it is an addiction!

My parents are also toxic, my mother will not except that she made us feel horrible as children and put her problems and faults on us, read Toxic Parents to find more about growing up with that hell, it's such a subtle behaviour and because they are your parents you learn to blame yourseld, after all your parents are all you have as a child so if they are bad you learn to blame yourself and become the one in the wrong, and they wont give up tellin you that you are the problem.

Trust me it's the worst thing that can happen to someone because you can never get back or escape your childhood and it's effects...........

Well I am not in my 40's but hey no one should blame anything on the vodka... I am guessing it's just the women.. vodka good..lol

It's not just you. Read the answers and you will find other fools in this world. Some even agree that people in their 40s are middle-aged.

Do these women find themselves faultless only when drinking? If so, maybe the booze is to blame! If not... well, I guess I've got that to look forward to when I hit my forties?

Almost anybody who is drinking excessively will not admit fault.

I resent this question!!!!! I am going on 40 and I not consider drinking vodka. Rum, now thats another story...... ;)

can't stand it some high heeled cow that drinks vodka!

sounds like some trashy women try hanging out with classier women
