Alcohol can have an impact on your; mood, health, level of energy and motivation. We often drink because we want to change the way we feel, but growing evidence suggests that alcohol can have a negative effect on our mental health and physical health.
Many of us are under an unbelievable amount of stress due to the coronavirus pandemic. We’re seeing that those of us who are drinking more heavily are at real risk of worsening our mental health problems such as anxiety and depression, along with many other health conditions, as we turn to alcohol to cope. The good news is that being in control of our drinking can improve our mental health, and there are plenty of techniques out there for taking control if your drinking has got a bit out of hand, including our free Try Dry app.
