Is the first thing that comes to mind when you're stressed, "I want a drink."?



Don't worry; you aren't automatically classified as an alcoholic. In fact, many people use alcohol and liquor to cope with stress. However, while you may believe that drinking would “take the edge off,” the fact is that it will most likely accomplish the opposite.



So, when you're stressed , is it okay to drink?



No, is the short answer.



But first, let's look at why alcohol and stress don't mix.



Here are seven reasons why drinking alcohol when you're anxious isn't a good idea, as well as some healthy stress-relieving alternatives.



Alcohol Consumption Increases Stress
Some people find that drinking a small amount of red wine on occasion helps them relax. However, there have been numerous documented cases where alcohol has caused people to become more stressed.



Alcohol affects your judgment in a negative manner.



Imagine how much worse it will be if you add booze to the mix if you can't handle stress without it. Consider the last time you drank excessively. Did you fall asleep peacefully or act completely out of character?



The next morning is generally loaded with remorse, a bad hangover, and you feel even worse than the day before. Do you think that's a good way to relieve stress?
