Why gin is called ladies drink?

There’s no one definite answer. Some people trace the phrase back to the origins of gin itself, the Spirit of Genever. Some historians, however, point the blame back to the 1700s when gin became so popular and cheap in England that drunkenness, including among women, became common. As a result, crimes rose and women became promiscuous.
