Finding Light in the Grey: From Grey Drinking to Wellbeing
Did you know that Alaska has one of the highest rates of alcohol consumption in the United States? In fact, shocking statistics reveal that nearly 1 in 3 Alaskans engage in grey drinking, a term used to describe the consumption of alcohol in a way that falls between social drinking and alcoholism. This phenomenon raises a thought-provoking question - why do so many individuals turn to alcohol as a means of escape or coping?
