* Career drinking on the rise among Australian women*

CAREER-oriented women who consume alcohol to keep up with male colleagues are increasingly finding themselves battling drinking problems.

A survey of drinking habits conducted by the University of Western Sydney has found career drinking among young women is behind a large increase in the number of middle-aged women reporting problem drinking.

The ongoing study, based on interviews with 120 women over three years, found a dramatic difference in the ''alcohol life cycle'' of women and men.

It suggests the number of alcohol dependent middle-aged women has been underestimated.

Researcher Janice Withnall said a kind of ''supermum syndrome'' among women aged 35-55 means many were drinking in private, denied the extent of their drinking habits and were reluctant to seek help. Australia' drinking culture and feminist movement are partly to blame, she said, with women reporting drinking to keep up with peers in the workforce as the beginnings of their problem.

''In the early 1980s we saw more women entering management areas,'' Ms Withnall said.

''A lot of business started to be conducted at lunches, dinners and after hours. A lot of career women in their 20s think they need to drink like the boys to get ahead. Suddenly they hit their 30s and realise they are not in control.''

She said environmental factors played a bigger role in women's drinking life than men's.

Over a glass of wine at a lunch meeting in the city yesterday, finance workers Linna Tran and Angela Davis, both 31, said alcohol was present during at least two work-related functions a week.

''You might be out of place if you don't drink,'' Ms Davis said.

National figures suggest 16 per cent per cent of women in the mid-life group suffers alcoholism, but Ms Withnall estimates the figure is closer to 25 per cent.

retards. how can i have nostalgia for something that didn't exist if i remember it perfectly well. maybe it's more to do with growing up and having a perpetual hang over and losing the magic than nostalgia. of course there's good shit happening now. but the community is so jaded and little in common. bah. i dont really care.

thank you elaine

in my youth my heroes were titans, gods, lords of the living culture. today i just don't feel that way. perhaps it's the sweet nectar of youth run dry.
