The New Findings on Alcohol and Why We Aren't Changing Our Name

The New Findings on Alcohol and Why We Aren't Changing Our Name

In this heartfelt and no-holds-barred episode of Drinks With the Girls, Karen and Lisa dive into the Surgeon General’s new advisory linking even moderate alcohol consumption to cancer risks — and what it means for midlife women. From pandemic wine habits to menopause metabolism, they get real about how drinking rituals are woven into our friendships, celebrations, and self-care... and why it’s time to rethink the role of alcohol without losing the soul of connection. Spoiler: they’re not changing the name — because "Drinks" is about so much more than what’s in the glass. Tune in for honest conversation, nostalgia, laughter, and a few unexpected tangents as always. Whether you’re sipping Cabernet, kombucha, or coffee, you’re welcome at this table.
