Do you often catch a cold? Why this could be due to alcohol

At the birthday party, at the barbecue with friends or after work - alcohol is always present. But what changes when you don't consume alcohol? You sleep better: Various studies show that the quality of sleep decreases with alcohol in the blood. You wake up more often and are less refreshed the next day. Better for the psyche: In the short term, abstaining from alcohol can lead to a negative mood. In the long term, research shows that abstaining improves mental well-being. Better for the immune system: alcohol prevents white blood cells from fighting off pathogens. The liver is degreased: A study shows that liver values normalize after only two weeks when abstaining. Tip: You can toast just as well with non-alcoholic after-work beer.
