There’s no harm in drinking a glass of wine or beer every once in a while as long as we drink responsibly. Unfortunately, there are many myths about drinking and alcohol that many people still believe in. Here are three common alcohol myths debunked.
It May Improve Sleep
People tend to think that alcohol improves sleep because it can help us relax and make us sleepy. Even though a glass of wine can help you fall asleep faster sometimes, studies have shown that alcohol reduces sleep quality and can even cause insomnia.
Coffee Can Sober You Up
Most people think that drinking black coffee or caffeinated drinks can help them sober up quickly, which is simply not true. Coffee can help us feel more alert and boost our energy for a while, but that certainly doesn’t mean we’re sober.
Wine Gets Better With Age
This is one of the most common alcohol myths everyone knows and probably thinks it’s true. Certain types of wine will taste better if stored for years, but the truth is that most wines will actually lose quality over time.
