SOCIAL DRINKERS THRIVE IN THEIR COMMUNITY AS PER MEDICAL SCIENCE AND PSYCHOLOGY

The study investigates the dual impact of alcohol consumption on health and social dynamics, challenging its traditional characterization solely as a health risk. By combining data from questionnaire-based studies, pub observations, and a national survey conducted by CAMRA, the research reveals that moderate alcohol consumption in communal settings fosters social engagement, strengthens community trust, and expands support networks. Drawing inspiration from Dr. Harivansh Rai Bachchans Madhushala, the analysis aligns philosophical insights on alcohols unifying potential with scientific findings on its ability to enhance social bonding through endorphin activation.While acknowledging alcohols risks, including addiction and health complications such as cardiovascular diseases and liver damage, the paper emphasizes its potential to improve emotional well-being and interpersonal trust.
