Spirits are associated with confidence and red wine is linked to relaxation – and researchers hope findings will help people consider alcohol’s emotional effects
While indulging in booze can inspire cheerful merrymaking in some, for others it can lead to a tearful journey to the bottom of the glass. Now researchers say the emotions people feel when drinking could be linked to their tipple of choice.
An international survey has revealed that spirits are often associated with feelings of energy, confidence and sexiness – but on the flip-side anger and tearfulness – while red wine is the drink most commonly linked to relaxation, but also tiredness.
While the researchers say the reasons for the links are likely to be complex, they hope the study will urge individuals to think carefully about the alcohol they consume.
“From a public health perspective a lot of the time we have focused on issues around cancer, heart disease and liver disease – but an important aspect is the balance of emotional outcomes that people are getting from alcohol,” said Mark Bellis, co-author of the research from Public Health Wales NHS Trust.
The study, published in the journal BMJ Open, is based on an anonymous online questionnaire that was completed by individuals aged between 18 and 34 who had drunk alcohol in the previous year. Part of an international survey on alcohol and drug use, the questions probed the type of alcohol drunk and associated emotions, and were asked in 11 different languages, with participants taking part from 21 countries around the world.
The results, based on answers from almost 30,000 participants who had reported consuming both red and white wine as well as beer and spirits in the past year, reveal that certain types of alcoholic drink appear to be linked to particular emotions.

That’s better than Viagra!
Cheaper, too!..................
The stupidity of youth. To get "clean", my buddies hosed me off at the quarter car wash before dumping me in my parent's front yard.
The study format leaves either possibility open - and the other way around seems likelier to me.
I saw what you did there.
Hhmmmm...
We were in same school? (But I skipped the kegger..just knew about it.)
We had to do that with a guy in The Marines once..................

Interesting - me too. I am considered a very happy drinker that never shuts up. Never feel angry while drinking.
Red wine. No wonder I feel so tired but relaxed all the time. LOL!

I learned LONG AGO that booze makes me insta-bitch. I stick with beer. Wine makes me sick. Love the taste of it, but even just one glass and I’m miserable the next day. I think it’s the sulphites (or whatever they’re called). Mostly a happy drunk. Usually all I want to do when tipsy is play my guitar!
One thing to think about WRT alcohol.
Ethyl alcohol is yeast pee. CO2 is yeast farts.
Cheers!
Rainier, the green death.
In the EU the maximum levels of sulfur dioxide that a wine can contain are 210 ppm for white wine, 400 ppm for sweet wines — and 160 ppm for red wine. Quite similar levels apply in the U.S., Australia and around the world. Fact: Red wines typically contain less sulfites than white wine.............

Rum makes me fun. And a good dancer.
Bullshit article. Your liver can’t tell the difference.
Your liver can’t.
Your brain can...................
When I still drank alcohol, tequila inspired me to start fires, shoot guns and light off fireworks.
Me too...KM
