Particular mood or emotion can drive a person to enjoy alcoholic drinks. However, the actual effect of alcohol is not too much to restore the mood.
In men, emotional upset can encourage them to drink alcohol. According to research by Valeri S Harder, angry man who feels inclined to drink compared with that anger can be controlled.
Harder initially thought someone would feel less angry or sad after drinking, and feel happier after drinking. However, apparently the result of research suggests otherwise.
"The fact is not so. Someone unhappy because they drink a lot of alcohol," said Harder, who was assistant professor of psychiatry at the University of Vermont.
Both men and women are equally unhappy the next day after drinking. But the effect was stronger in women.
To track the habits and their effects on mood, Harder and his team used an interactive voice recording program such as the call center at the bank. They involve 246 participants by the study physician considered susceptible to alcohol addiction.
The respondents are those who have followed the program to reduce drinking. They then got a call every day for six months to report on mood, stress level, and drinking habits. Respondents aged between 21-82 years.
Stress is known to alter one's mood and their drinking habits. In a previous study even concluded, high stress can be a factor that drives a person to drink the next day.
Harder to explain, people who think alcohol can increase feelings of mood they should pay attention to what they would have done the next day after drinking.
Therefore, rather than menyakan how many times they've been drinking in a week, doctors advised patients to ask their mood before and after drinking. Open discussion of the anger that is felt, particularly in men, may also help to reduce the desire to drink.
