"We've seen a huge increase in alcohol consumption among women over the past 30 years," he says.

And she’s taken that conversation one step further. Why?

Shanna Whan's rock-bottom moment came on Boxing Day 2014. Shanna and her husband Tim live in Narrabri in north-west New South Wales, though the positive impact of Shanna’s work can be seen and felt all over rural Australia. Although she had her first beer at 13, she recalls a recent conversation with her 15-year-old niece, who told her she "didn't need alcohol to have fun".

"Women have got a hard life, juggling a job and kids, and the reward is that you get to have a glass of wine and chill. "While cutting back on alcohol may be trendy, Professor Lubman is hesitant to say it is a trend.

Technology is a great help but we must use it first (hint-hint, husband!). If my husband or anyone suggested I was – I would become angry and offended.

"Don’t EVER be complacent and presume it can't or won't ever happen to you." While drinking among Australians in their 20s and 30s may be declining, women in their 50s and 60s are drinking more, something Professor Lubman says is "concerning" given alcohol consumption is one of the major modifiable risk factors for breast cancer.

That’s what scares me most of all. Country star Shania Twain's husband Frédéric Thiébaud started off as just a friend, but unforeseen circumstances led to so much more!

Her rural health movement Sober in the Country challenges us to examine our relationships with alcohol, to remove the stereotypes, stigmas and fear around what high functioning alcoholism looks like and presents as, and how addiction can present among friends and family. Comparing her experience nine years ago to now, Stark finds it is more socially acceptable to live a sober lifestyle.

It’s rampant, it’s ongoing, and it’s killing the people we love. 30 years ago no-one wore seatbelts. "For Stark, 43, the push is coming from the younger generation. MEET THE 2020 TEAM.

Today we do it without even thinking about it.

Shanna knows a thing or two about tenacity, dedicating herself as an advocate for sobriety in rural communities. I also worry about my husband and the miles he clocks up driving enormous distances for his work.I BEG my husband to tell me his departure and arrival times so somebody knows where he is and can keep a watch on his welfare; but he struggles to understand why forgetting to do that most of the time is scary for me as the person back home who cannot contact him. "It doesn't have to be a beer and a BBQ, maybe it can be a hike and a BBQ. "In her 2018 book of the same name, UK writer and alcohol-free event organiser Ruby Warrington called these trendy teetotallers the "sober curious", describing a more critical approach to alcohol consumption as "the next logical step in the wellness revolution".There's seemingly a sobriety challenge for each month of the year, and once booze-soaked spaces are cleaning up to be cool.

‘Who is Shania Twain married to?’ is a common question and the quick answer is— Shania Twain’s husband is Frédéric Thiébaud! In addition to avoiding getting behind the wheel after a few drinks, Shanna recommends maintaining deliberate and regular communication throughout the course of a long-distance trip and guarding against complacency that ‘it won’t happen to me’.I am a fellow Finalist of the AgriFutures Rural Women’s Award and I now work as an advocate for rural peers to bring the extremely complex topic of alcohol awareness to the table. Rural men and women continue to risk driving home across country roads after drinks, despite knowing the dangers.

Photo: Shanna's husband, Tim, has played a huge supporter role. Through Sober in the Country, she has assembled a Facebook group of more than 500 people who have realised drinking isn't worth it for them. Shanna Whan and Jill Stark will appear with Yumi Stynes in a conversation about the sober curious movement at the All About Women festival on March 8.
"There are bars I can go to now and have an alcohol-free beer, which is not something that I could have done a few years ago.
