The topic of alcohol addiction is usually associated with male alcohol addiction, which is in a way understandable because in the entire population men indeed drink more than women. Drinking and intoxicating women has long been more strongly condemned in the family and society than the same behavior of men. Precisely because of such condemnation, women drink in secret, hide their dependence on men for longer, and find it harder to decide on hospital or psychosocial treatment. In recent decades, alcohol dependence in the female population has been on the rise. The traditional role of women is changing, especially her family and work role, and women are facing more and more stressful situations that cause their mental health to suffer. Accordingly, alcoholism in women is most often accompanied by impaired mental health, often with mental difficulties. The year 2020 was particularly challenging in this context because the interaction of risk factors due to the COVID-19 pandemic and strong earthquakes was much more pronounced. This paper will present women's alcohol dependence, draw attention to the importance of preserving women's mental health, and try to look at the impact of major events from the past year on women's mental health and their drinking habits. Opportunities will also be presented to improve support and help women struggling with alcohol addiction and impaired mental health. All for the purpose of contributing to the understanding of this problem, dealing with it and possible solutions.
