Column ~ Un-Wine: Better ways to Cope with Daily Stress
Submitted by paula on Sat, 05/11/2024 - 9:04pm
While it’s common to joke about wine-drinking culture, relying on alcohol to cope with family demands and work stress is no laughing matter.
Drinking a glass of wine can provide relaxation and enjoyment at first, because alcohol affects neurotransmitters such as dopamine (the pleasure neurotransmitter). However, alcohol has a disruptive effect as your body breaks it down, so unwinding with a glass at night might result in fragmented sleep and frequent waking. Lack of good sleep may make you tired and irritable the next day, fueling daily stressors.
