Girls Night Out argues that pop culture and alcohol company marketing have created a binge drinking problem for some young women.
An intimate, all-access journey into the world young women binge drinking. Among young women it is an epidemic. The statistics are alarming: alcohol is the leading cause of death for American women aged 18-24. This film explores the glamorisation of drinking in celebrity pop culture, targeted marketing by alcohol companies and how drinking has become the go-to solution in this self-medicating, low self-esteem, anxiety-driven culture.
