Drinking can be a hard habit to alter because of how alcohol affects us. Research has shown that alcohol can change a person’s emotional state by inducing feelings of pleasure and relaxation and reducing tension and anxiety. This happens because drinking alcohol can release endorphins, or “pleasure” hormones, which evoke a feel-good effect. Because of this, some people find they’re happier, less stressed, and more sociable after drinking.
Work-related stress can take a toll on emotional health, contributing to feelings of anxiety and depression.
