From the glamorous hard-drinking flapper of the 1920s to the disgraced and alcoholic wife and mother played by Lee Remick in the 1962 film “Days of Wine and Roses,” alcohol consumption by American women has been seen as both a prerogative and as a threat to health, happiness, and the social order.\u003cbr\u003e  \u003cbr\u003e In \u003ci\u003eLady Lushes\u003c\/i\u003e, medical historian Michelle L.
