Alcohol may help calm down aggressive persons: Study

alcohol may help calm aggressionIt is a well known fact that alcohol and aggressiveness go shoulder to shoulder. Under the control of the liquid, especially in poor countries, many people practice revelry and violence, who otherwise is a different person – making it a taboo for many.

But, a present study has surprisingly come up with the evidence of just the “opposite impact” of alcohol on a man! I mean, it has been found possible to calm an aggressive person under the influence of alcohol.

Given a rewarding task testing their powers of concentration, he can win over his own normal self.

The study found the highest level of aggression was seen in people who drank and zapped but didn’t take part in the memory task. But, the lowest aggression level was found in those who drank with the added distraction.

University of Kentucky psychologist Peter Giancola said,

Drinking restricts our ability to pay attention, so we misbehave once our attention is narrowed to the most salient, attention-grabbing thing.


Though now, you have all reason to take that extra peg, — yet, having the tendency to develop that aggressive nature under alcohol’s influence — make it a point that you stay in a salient, non-hostile environment, so that you can well justify your sips and sobriety.
