[@sportsbabe1125]

That was a great interview. Love that she was able to laugh at herself. That “we’ll cal you from rehab” line was funny. Dave appreciated it!

[@Brad772006]

I was thinking the same thing. I have seen the SNL bit but have never actually watched the 4th hour of the today show. Geez even saying that is tiring.

​@@bluebear1985if she is alive, why did the release a video? Explain that.

[@CubReporterK]

Request - I just found out about Mary McDonnell doing a top 10 in character on March 19, 2008. I'd love to see that.

[@michelenichele294]

Daily boozing doesn’t sound like anything to joke about.😢 So sad for such a lovely intelligent woman. Hope she stays healthy.

[@stevennieto9898]

[@robinblackmoor8732]

Wait. I think i just saw her on television. She can't be dead. What is the deal with this video?

[@bluebear1985]

We'll be right back with Brad Paisley.

[@Typical.Anomaly]

She needs to buy a vowel

[@Typical.Anomaly]

[@KevinPiland]

I’m sorry there’s no I. Kathie Lee your turn.

[@shareebrown4362]

She's too old to have been in only the 3rd grade when Wheel of Fortune was aired. 🙄

Health Effects of Alcohol Misuse on Women Alcohol has the potential to affect women’s physical and mental health in a variety of ways. Alcohol misuse in women can lead several health issues, including:1-4 Brain function abnormalities. Women experience shrinking brain tissue, declining brain function, and brain damage faster than men as a result of alcohol use. Female teenagers who binge drink are more likely to experience memory problems compared to male teens who binge drink or female teens who do not binge drink. Additionally, heavy drinking in female teens affects parts of the brain associated with memory and making decisions. Liver disease: Women are at greater risk of developing alcohol-associated liver diseases such as alcoholic hepatitis and cirrhosis than men. Heart problems: Damage to the heart muscle, heart disease, and high blood pressure can occur faster even if women consume less alcohol. Infertility: Chronic use of alcohol may lead to irregular menstrual cycles and ovulation patterns, reduce fertility, and lead to an earlier onset of menopause. Pregnancy complications: Women who drink while pregnant are at risk of having a baby with fetal alcohol spectrum disorder (FASD), which involves birth defects, behavioral issues, and intellectual disabilities. It can also raise the likelihood of miscarriage, stillbirth, preterm delivery, and sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS). Cancer: Alcohol has been linked to many types of cancer that affects multiple organs, including the mouth, throat, esophagus, colon, and liver. Women who drink are also more likely to develop breast cancer, and the risk increases with regular alcohol consumption. Increased risk of blackouts: Women black out more easily than men as a result of alcohol. Mental health disorders: Women are more likely to develop mental health disorders such as anxiety or depression as a result of alcohol use. Dehydration: Alcohol is a diuretic (it eliminates water from the body), and since women already have less water in their bodies compared to men (on average), alcohol can be more concentrated in female bodies. This can increase dehydration, hangover symptoms such as headaches and muscle cramps, and worsen potential long-term health effects of chronic alcohol use. Alcohol and Breast Cancer As previously mentioned, alcohol use increases the risk of breast cancer, a disease that affects more than 2 million women worldwide each year. In the United States alone, there are nearly 500,000 new cases of breast cancer reported each year.6 While there are many factors that contribute to an individual’s risk of developing the disease-things that are out of a woman’s control, such as her age and genetics-alcohol consumption is one factor that women can control.5 Research indicates that even 10 to 15 grams (that’s less than 1 oz.) of alcohol each day is associated with an increased risk of breast cancer. In fact, studies suggest that a 10-gram increase in alcohol consumption (1 standard drink generally contains 14 grams of alcohol) each day increased the risk of breast cancer in premenopausal women by 5% and postmenopausal women by 9%.6 Not surprisingly, compiled data from 118 studies, indicates that an increased risk of breast cancer goes up with alcohol consumption. For example, light drinkers have slightly more than a 1-fold increased risk of breast cancer compared to non drinkers. With heavy drinkers, on the other hand, the risk increases 1.6-fold.7
