Alcohol and Happiness

Researchers in the UK have discovered that alcohol makes you happy. Well duh! Tell us something we don’t already know. Most folks feel elated or more relaxed after a drink or two and depending on the person, some more than others. It really enhances social get-togethers with friends and loved ones and can escalate romance. In other words it makes pleasurable activities even more pleasurable. However, this research discovered that alcohol had an even bigger impact on an individual’s happiness when consumed along with what most folks would consider unenjoyable activities like waiting, commuting, doing paperwork or the tediousness of travel, therefore making them much easier to cope with.
