BBC News Review: Study into women's drinking habits
source: BBC Learning English 2016年10月25日
A worldwide study into women's drinking habits has been carried out. Women now drink nearly as much alcohol as men. Join Neil and Sian to discover the language the world's media is using to talk about this story.
For more, visit our website: http://www.bbc.co.uk/learningenglish/...
The story
A global study of drinking habits has shown that women have nearly caught up with men in terms of the amount of alcohol they consume. An analysis of four million people born between 1891 and 2001 found that women's drinking has increased due to a number of reasons, including falling prices and successful marketing. The study has concluded that public health efforts must focus more on women.
Dr Tim Slade - The University of New South Wales, Australia
Increased exposure to alcohol also increases the physical and mental health risks associated with drinking too much. And so that's something that we really need to continue to look at and do something about.
Key words and phrases
out-drinking: drinking more than another person
wine o'clock: (humorous) an appropriate time of day to start drinking wine
knocking back: drinking something quickly or in large amounts, particularly alcohol
boozer: person who drinks a lot of alcohol

In this lesson, you can learn about something that will help you to sound more like a native speaker when you speak English. What is this thing? It’s vague language. 'Vague' means that something is not clear or detailed. For example, if you ask me what I did yesterday, and I reply, “Just some stuff at home,” that is a vague answer. I’m not giving you details.
Using vague language will make your English sound more natural and closer to native English.
You can learn:
- How and why to use vague language to sound more natural when you speak English.
- Useful words and phrases you can use when you want to be vague.
- When not to use vague language in English!
