Episode description

Cheers! For a lot of us alcohol is a reward after a hard day, a way to unwind, a key part of our celebrations, but our love of a drink comes at a cost.  

Some women are regularly drinking at dangerous rates while others find it difficult to go without.  

Beyond the hangover fuzz, booze can take a toll on our health and relationships. So why are we so keen on a drink despite knowing the risks? And how can we learn to put the cap back on the bottle when we’ve had enough?  

Yumi Stynes talks to someone confronting their problematic drinking habit and contemplates her own sobriety along the way. (R)
