The World Health Organization (WHO) has recognized stress as the disease of the 21st century, which affects both physically and mentally.It carries headache, sleep disorders, intestinal problems, skin rashes ... and also affects the appearance, since among others it encourages the appearance of gray hair.

Especially harmful is when it lasts in time, it can trigger the dreaded anxiety, which is "when the symptoms prevent youPersistent, it does not sleep well, the tension is very large and causes you and those you have close is when you have to ask for help, "warns the psychiatrist Inés López Ibor.

As if all of the above, a recent study published in Psychology of Addictive Behaviors has shown that this condition is closely linked to alcoholism, especially in women.

The link between alcohol and stress

Although it is often used from a social and idle perspective, alcohol is a depressing drug of the central nervous system that inhibits brain functions and is likely to cause addiction.Many people consume it as an escape in times of pressure.As an example, the sale of beer increased by 78 % in Spain during confinement.But excess alcohol consumption entails very serious health problems.

El estrés propicia el consumo de alcohol en las mujeres

The study published in the scientific publication Psychology of Addictive Behaviors observed how to expose stress situations to a population group increased alcohol consumption among women, while it did not affect men.

In the experiment, 105 women and 105 men were concentrated in a simulated bar.There, some received alcohol and other non -alcoholic beverages in the first phase of the test.Then, they were all subjected to stressful situations.Finally, all 90 minutes of alcoholic beverages were given to all.

The researchers observed the amounts of alcohol consumed by each user analyzing their blood content in the breath (BAC).The results showed that men maintained the same habit of drink with or without stressors, while for women it was a trigger leading them to consume more alcohol in the second phase of the investigation.

In conclusion, they underlined the need to develop specific models to stop this problem, since suffering stress plays a vital role in alcohol abuse disorders in the female population.

In short, alcohol consumption should not be taken lightly, nor its consequences.Not surprisingly, more and more celebrities defend the virtues of abstemia.
