longevitylibrary- A reminder that the research shows that alcohol makes stress WORSE (not better). That’s because it increases cortisol levels, and raises them for up to 7 days before they normalise. This means that even if you drink once a week, alcohol is worsening your stress hormone levels.
Some research even shows that increases in cortisol from alcohol can also help predict future binge drinking behavior. High stress levels might make you MORE likely to binge drink.
What a vicious cycle!
Instead, make this the year that you prioritise your stress reduction through healthier means — like activity, healthy eating, meditation, self-care, spending time with loved ones, and even simply resting!
