I
found this to be an interesting article.
I know that I get different feelings when I drink different types of
alcohol. I know that I really don’t want
to be drinking Tequila, because it makes me a bit on the grumpy side, where rum
makes me feel good and in a happy place.
I find it interesting how the respondents to this study reacted to the
different types of alcoholic beverages.
Many
drinkers claim to feel teary after a Gin &Tonic, or unusually aggressive
after a shot of whisky, but researchers now say they have found new evidence to
suggest different types of alcohol elicit different emotional responses. Drinkers
say they feel confident, energized, aggressive and sexy after drinking spirits
The study, took
responses from almost 30,000 people aged 18-34 and compared their thoughts
after drinking spirits, red wine, white wine and beer. After looking at the drinking habits of
people across 21 countries, the study found that different drinks affect our emotional
responses in varying ways. Its results
showed that 58% of people who drink spirits said they felt energized, while
just 7% of red wine drinkers reported feeling the same way, and 60% of them
said they felt tired.
One
third of respondents to the study were female, with the researchers noting that
women were more likely than men to report each emotion when drinking a single
type of alcohol. The study found that
42% of people said they felt sexy after drinking spirits, while just 25% of red
wine, 24% of white wine and only 19% of beer drinkers felt the same way. In spirits drinkers, more people said they
felt restless, aggressive and energized after drinking spirits than any other
type of alcohol.
