Drinking to cope with stress may increase risk of alcohol problems

Drinking to cope with stress may increase risk of alcohol problems
 

It can be tempting for some to reach for a cold beer after a stressful day, but drinking alcohol to relieve stress could potentially lead to drinking problems down the road, according to Penn State researchers.

In a study, students reported their drinking habits along with how much stress they were experiencing. The researchers found that the more students drank to cope with stress—as opposed to drinking for fun or to celebrate—the higher their risk for having problems with alcohol.

It it weren't for alcohol, I wouldn't have any use for stress.

The only thing you are missing is all the taxpayer dollars given to reach that obvious to anyone with a working brain conclusion.
