A new international study has looked at how the three broad groupings of alcoholic drink spirits, wine and beer differ in how we respond emotionally to them. The study, published on November 21st, surveyed 30, people in 21 different countries. The researchers hope their findings will make people think more carefully about what type of alcohol they consume. Different types of alcohol do trigger different emotions, the study found.
Spirits gin, whiskey, vodka, etc made respondents feel confident, energetic and sexy, while wine and beer generated feelings of relaxation. However, those were just the positive emotions expressed. The drinkers also recorded negative emotions.
Spirits were blamed for feelings of aggression, depression and tearfulness. If we are to help people make informed decisions about their drinking, they need to know the full picture of how alcohol affects moods and emotions.
What is clear from the study is how spirits provoke both strong positive and negative emotions. But 48 per cent reported that drinking spirits made them feel ill, 33 per cent said it provoked aggression, and 22 per cent said spirits made them maudlin and tearful. Clear differences emerged between red and white wine. Good Subscriber Account active since Shortcuts.

Alcohol might have gone right through us at 21, but our aged bodies now process alcohol differently. That's why your hangover used to be cured by a bacon, egg, and cheese bagel, a glass of water, and an extra hour of sleep, and now, it won't go away until the next day. This one may seem obvious, but it's worth noting there's a chance the tequila, vodka, rum, whiskey, wine and beer aren't to blame, even if mixed.
You might just be drinking too much alcohol at once, period. Eventually, your body will run out of mechanisms to break down the alcohol and its toxins. Pace yourself, drink water in between beverages, and understand your limits. After all, life's too short to spend it barfing when you really don't have to. This article was originally published on
