WOMEN are spending an average of \u00a32,600 a year on alcohol as they struggle to manage menopause symptoms, a new survey has found.<\/p>\n
It revealed that one in three women drink more booze after becoming perimenopausal or menopausal.<\/p>\n
\n<\/p>\n
And one in eight regularly exceed the recommended weekly intake of 14 units to alleviate symptoms.<\/p>\n
Lindsey Beveridge, 55, a nutritional therapist from Manchester who runs\u00a0recovery-nutrition.co.uk, was drinking three bottles of wine a day to cope with her menopause symptoms. <\/p>\n
She says alcohol numbed her severe anxiety and insomnia – but she had no idea these were caused by menopause at the time. <\/p>\n
The survey of 1,200 women was conducted by Newson Health Group to mark World Menopause Day (October 18) and shows the menopause could be a hidden factor in spiralling household costs across the country.<\/p>\n
