Yes, well we all knew it, but now there is scientific proof that going to a pub is actually good for you. Here is a brief except from the study:
The survey data suggest that respondents who have a ‘local’ that they visit on a regular basis are more socially engaged, feel more contented in their lives, and are more likely to trust other members of their community. On some, but not all of our social measures, those who drink ‘casually’ were more socially engaged than those who didn’t drink at all, suggesting that there are independent effects due to being a drinker and having a regular drinking venue.
The study is called: Functional Benefits of (Modest) Alcohol Consumption, and was published by in December 2016 by a number of learned individuals. To read the entire paper, please click here.
So, finish your home work and head down to the pub.
