In a recent Goop podcast episode, Gwyneth Paltrow candidly discussed her alcohol consumption amid the Los Angeles wildfires that severely impacted local neighborhoods. Throughout January, she admitted to drinking nightly as a coping mechanism for the heightened stress, which aggravated her menopause symptoms. While she normally limits herself to one drink a week, the actor acknowledged that the stress from the disaster made her drinking habits spiral out of control. Dr. Mary Clare Haver, her guest on the episode, validated her experience, highlighting that many patients realize the negative effects alcohol has on their bodies during menopause.
I think I drank every night... I was medicating... Normally, now at this point, I don't drink a lot at all. Maybe I'll have one drink a week.
Lots of my patients say the same thing. They've really just spontaneously realized that they've cut back on alcohol or just quit altogether because it just hasn't been worth it.
