Link Between Drinking And Depression Stronger In Women
Research has found that women binge drinkers were more likely to be clinically depressed than men binge drinkers. It is not yet clear whether drinking leads to depression or depression leads to drinking, however the link between the two is significant.
The research was conducted on 6,009 men and 8,054 women by US and Canadian researchers. Moderate drinking was found not to increase the risk of depression in either sex and the difference between men and women was only noticed in those suffering from clinical depression.
