Drinking Beer May Help You Read Certain Emotions
- Alcohol is known to impair people’s judgment, but downing a beer may actually enhance one ability: A small new study suggests that imbibing may improve people’s ability to recognize certain emotions, like happiness.
- Though “many people drink beer and know its effects through personal experience, there is surprisingly little scientific data on its effects on the processing of emotional social information,” study co-author Matthias Liechti, a professor of psychopharmacology at the University of Basel in Switzerland, said in a statement.
- “We found that drinking a glass of beer helps people see happy faces faster and enhances concern for positive emotional situations,” Liechti said.
- The effects may have been more pronounced in women because consuming the same dose of alcohol may lead to different blood concentrations of alcohol in men and women, and thus may affect them differently.
