Recently - during councelling, I was told that there have been several scientific studies showing that women with 'alcohol problems' are twice as likely to binge drink, or fall off the wagon at that 'time of the month' with hormone levels having a direct affect on food and alcohol cravings.
I hadn't realised that this was an issue for me before as I've never suffered from PMT (luckily for my husband!!), but since being told have become acutely aware of my increased alcohol cravings around the time of my period. Now forewarned, I prepare myself for this and know that that extra loud voice in my head is a direct result of my hormones - and I eat a big chocolate bar instead!
Just thought I would share this in case it helps someone else.
