For decades, studies suggested that moderate alcohol intake could protect the heart, reduce diabetes risk, or even help you live longer. Newer research tells a different story.
The relationship between alcohol and stress is very complex, and if I’m not mistaken research shows that it can reduce resilience to stress. I didn’t find dedicated studies on the issue quickly though. The ones I did find stayed that alcohol consumption for stress relief is associated with a higher risk for alcohol use disorder.
Personally, when I was still drinking, I avoided this scenario and never drank when stressed because of that issue.
What if moderate drinking keeps my stress levels lower, is it healthier then?
