Women, Perfectionism and Alcoholism article

Great article in the Atlantic today. Thought I'd share. While it speaks to a certain extent about women who can much more "afford" being alcoholic, at least in a monetary sense, it is still a good look at why many women (and mothers) end up drinking too much.
