A new study has found that drinking alcohol moderately is not safe for health either. 

New study suggests drinking alcohol moderately equally bad for your health

A new study has found that drinking alcohol moderately is not safe for health either.&nbsp;

Previous studies have shown that drinking moderate amounts of alcohol might have some health benefits but a new study suggests that might not be the case after all.
Published in the journal JAMA Network, the research found that drinking alcohol moderately is not safe for health either. For the study, researchers reviewed 107 studies that involved more than 4.8 million participants.
The findings suggested that people who consumed less than an ounce of ethanol (a form of alcohol found in beer, wine and liquor) showed no significant increase in lifespan compared to non-drinkers.

Study suggests women now drink more alcohol than men

Women have surpassed men in binge drinking for the first time in history, according to the National Institute of Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism (NIAAA).&nbsp;

According to a recent study conducted by the National Institute of Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism (NIAAA), American women have overtaken men in binge drinking.&nbsp;
The study data suggested that about 11.8 per cent of university females reported binge drinking after the pandemic as compared to 10.4% of men.&nbsp;
The Centres for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) recommends consuming only one alcoholic beverage a day for women and the safe amount for men is two drinks.

Do you crave cigarettes whenever you drink? Here's why your brain is doing this. 

Science behind your craving for cigarettes only when you drink

Do you crave cigarettes whenever you drink? Here's why your brain is doing this.&nbsp;

You're two or maybe three drinks down and suddenly you feel the urge to smoke and the weird part is that you're not even a smoker.
Yep, according to experts cigarettes do complete the void when you drink. Let's find out why.&nbsp;
According to Dr. John Dani from the University of Pennsylvania, the craving occurs because of two reasons; the way nicotine affects memory and how nicotine combines with alcohol to reduce dopamine levels. The two mechanisms together make cigarettes seem delicious.
Hence, the reason people keep smoking and drinking together is to release stress hormones and regain happiness.

Study suggests perfectionism could increase people’s tendency to lean towards alcoholism. 

Why you need to steer clear from being a perfectionist!

Study suggests perfectionism could increase people&rsquo;s tendency to lean towards alcoholism.&nbsp;

Are you a perfectionist or desire to be one? Well, think twice as this personality trait can make you an alcoholic!&nbsp;
Published in the journal Alcoholism: Clinical &amp; Experimental Research, the study suggests that perfectionism may increase a person&rsquo;s vulnerability to excessive alcohol use.
For the study, researchers looked at two groups of 65 adults; one consisted of people who suffer from AUD (Alcohol Use Disorder) and the other without.&nbsp;
Researchers found that 79 per cent of respondents with AUD exhibited greater self-oriented perfectionism. They also concluded that perfectionism is associated with self-criticism, high expectations and mental health problems, which in turn can tip people over the line when it comes to alcohol.&nbsp;

Benefits of 'Dry January' lasts for more than a month: Study

A study has shown that people who participate in Dry January and other sober-week or month challenges frequently, experience lasting benefits.&nbsp;

'New Year, New Beginnings, and with this hope comes 'Dry January'. Every year, a number of people start their new year by taking part in a month-long sobriety challenge. However, a month after testing willpower, people tend to return to their old drinking habits.&nbsp;
But, now a study has shown that people who participate in Dry January and other sober-week or month challenges frequently, experience lasting benefits.&nbsp;
The study was published in BMJ Open where a team of researchers in London and the United States recruited a group of 94 healthy men and women who were willing to give up alcohol for one month.&nbsp;
It was found that those who gave up alcohol for one month had significant improvements in their metabolic health. Other than this, Dry January participants reported better sleep, saved money, and lost weight.&nbsp;

Explained: Why does drinking diet coke as a mixer get you drunk faster than regular coke?

Recently, a British doctor's video went viral after he revealed this secret and left drinkers in utter shock. Know more

Did you know that diet coke as a mixer can make you intoxicated faster than its full-sugar counterpart? Yes, you heard that right. Recently, a British doctor, Dr Karan Raj's video went viral after he revealed this secret and left drinkers in utter shock.&nbsp;
He explained that sugar in regular coke empties our stomach slower as compared to diet coke resulting in slower absorption of alcohol into the bloodstream.&nbsp;
He further explained that the same principle works here as well which works when people get drunk faster on an empty stomach because there is nothing to slow down the booze.
A TikTok user also tested the claim and confirmed the statements of the doctor. Watch here.&nbsp;

<h3>What does it mean?&nbsp;</h3>
To be '<a href="https://www.editorji.com/business-news/this-country-is-encouraging-its-sober-young-people-to-drink-more-to-boost-economy-1660822007100">sober curious</a>' means to take a break from consuming alcohol for sometime. It doesn't mean that you have to entirely give it; you can have it when you feel like it but the consumption should be less so that it does not affect your health or in general your day.
It also involves curiosity about the reasons that make you think about drinking and the way alcohol affects your life.&nbsp;
<h3>How did sober curiousness come into existence?&nbsp;</h3>
Sober curious is nothing new! It has been there by the names 'Sober October' and '<a href="https://www.editorji.com/india-news/hooch-claims-ten-lives-in-dry-gujarat-anti-terror-squad-joins-probe-1658809744651">Dry January</a>', where people practised giving up alcohol for a month and re-evaluated their alcohol use.&nbsp;
<h3>What are the benefits of sober curiousness?&nbsp;</h3>
According to a 2018 study, if a person abstains from alcohol for a month this may help lower blood pressure and the risk of alcohol-related diseases. Other than this, those who give up drinking for a month also report better sleep, increased energy and weight loss.&nbsp;
However, just like your flings, movements may come and go. It's only your willpower that's going to stay forever to help you be 'sober curious'.&nbsp;

In a move to uplift tax revenues from alcoholic beverages, the Japanese government has launched a nationwide competition calling for ideas to encourage people to drink more alcohol. 
The Sake Viva! campaign, which is being run by the National Tax Agency (NTA), asks 20- to 39-year-oldsto come up with ideas for new "products and designs" to "stimulate demand among young people".
This includes boosting Japanese alcoholic beverages such as sake (rice wine), beer, whiskey, wine or beer. 
According to reports, the group running the competition for the tax authority says new habits - partly formed during the Covid pandemic - and an ageing population have led to a decline in alcohol sales.
Taxes on alcohol products accounted for 5% of total revenue in 1980, but shrunk to just 1.7% in 2020, according to The Japan Times.

The Arvind Kejriwal government in Delhi is considering one month extension to its new excise policy with the city staring at a major liquor shortage in the coming days with private wine and beer stores being asked to shut shop from August 1. 
On Saturday, Deputy Chief Minister Manish Sisodia said that Delhi government has withdrawn the new excise policy and directed for selling liquor from government run stores only.
However, according to a PTI report quoting sources,  preempting a chaos due to shutting of private liquor shops and time needed for opening government vends, a proposal is likely to be soon presented before Delhi Cabinet for extension to the 2021-22 policy. 
The 468 private liquor shops operating in the city will be shut from August 1 as the term of their licences and that of the new excise policy expire on July 31.
Meanwhile, the private liquor stores across the city on Saturday offered heavy discounts and schemes like one plus one free and one plus two free to sell their remaining stock.
With new policy gone, the excise licences issued to hotels, clubs and restaurants having bars, and wholesale operations will also become redundant apart from private run liquor stores in the city.  It means, there will be virtually no liquor supply from the wholesalers to the entire hospitality sector and retail vends in the city after July 31, till some alternate arrangements are made by the government, liquor trade experts claimed.
Sisodia said that the Chief Secretary has been asked to ensure that there is no chaos in the city during the transition period before opening of government liquor stores and also for keeping check on sale of illegal alcohol.
Officials said that the proposal for extension of excise policy was moved to Sisodia through Chief Secretary.
"After approval of Delhi Cabinet the proposal will be sent to the LG for his nod. The whole whole process may take around a week and till extension is granted after LG's approval, there will be shortage in the city," sources said.
No response was available from Delhi government or its Excise department about the arrangements being made to ensure liquor supply in the city after withdrawal of new excise policy.
President of National Restaurants Association of India (NRAI) Kabir Suri said that there was "lack of clarity" over the emerging situation and things will be clearer only with further instructions from the Delhi government.
Excise Policy 2021-22 extended twice before for two months each after April, will come to an end on July 31 as Delhi government has decided to go back to old excise regime and run liquor stores for coming six months.  The major shift, following a CBI probe recommended by Lt Governor into alleged violations of rules and procedural lapses in implementation of Excise Policy 2021-22, is also feared to disrupt entire supply chain of liquor in the city.
It will be second time within any year as the city is staring at a liquor shortage.
For thee weeks before new excise policy came into operation of private run liquor vends from November 17, 2021, there was shortage of alcohol in Delhi as government run stores and individual licensees were quitting retail business.

For thee weeks before new excise policy came into operation of private run liquor vends from November 17, 2021, there was shortage of alcohol in Delhi as government run stores and individual licensees were quitting retail business.

Prices of liquor in Punjab are expected to drop by at least 30 to 40 per cent to be on par with the rates in Union Territory Chandigarh and Haryana, with the state Cabinet of the AAP-led government approving its first excise policy on Wednesday.
Chief minister Bhagwant Mann-led government set a target of collecting Rs 9,647.85 crore, 40 per cent up from the revenue mobilised from the liquor business last year.
The new excise policy for the year 2022-23 was approved in the state Cabinet meeting chaired by chief minister here.
A spokesperson of the Chief Minister's Office said the policy strives to keep a stringent check over smuggling of liquor from the neighbouring states through extensive enforcement and by incorporating new technological measures.
Meanwhile, BJP leader Manjinder Singh Sirsa accused the AAP government of replicating the Delhi excise model to benefit a few.
&ldquo;@Aam AadmiParty is abusing Punjab state machinery &amp; replicating Delhi model of excise in Punjab to benefit a selected few," said Sirsa in a tweet.
The excise policy shall be applicable for a period for nine months from July 1, this year till March 31, 2023.
The new excise policy aims to break the nexus of mafia involved in liquor trade, said the spokesperson.
The manufacturer, wholesaler and the retailer shall be at an arm's length distance with each other. They shall be completely isolated from each other with no common stakeholder between them, said the spokesperson.
Liquor smuggling from Chandigarh and neighbouring Haryana has been a major challenge for the state. The prices of liquor, including those of Indian Made Foreign Liquor (IMFL) and beer on an average are 30 to 40 per cent higher in Punjab compared to the prices in Chandigarh and Haryana.
The prices of liquor shall now be almost on par with the neighbouring states, said the spokesperson.
According to the new excise police, no quota has been fixed for lifting IMFL and beer by the retail licensees. However, the quota for the Punjab Medium Liquor (PML) remained what it was last year, said an official of the excise department.
The new excise policy stipulates to tap the actual potential of liquor trade by allotting 177 groups through a free, fair and transparent manner of e-tendering. Earlier, liquor vends were allotted on the basis of draw of lots.
The general size of the group shall be around Rs 30 crore and there shall be 6,378 vends in the state, said the spokesperson.
The excise duty on all kinds of liquor except PML shall be charged at the rate of one per cent of the wholesale price.

Prices of liquor in Punjab are expected to drop by at least 30 to 40 per cent to be on par with the rates in Union Territory Chandigarh and Haryana, with the state Cabinet of the AAP-led government approving its first excise policy on Wednesday.
Chief minister Bhagwant Mann-led government set a target of collecting Rs 9,647.85 crore, 40 per cent up from the revenue mobilised from the liquor business last year.
The new excise policy for the year 2022-23 was approved in the state Cabinet meeting chaired by chief minister here.
A spokesperson of the Chief Minister's Office said the policy strives to keep a stringent check over smuggling of liquor from the neighbouring states through extensive enforcement and by incorporating new technological measures.
Meanwhile, BJP leader Manjinder Singh Sirsa accused the AAP government of replicating the Delhi excise model to benefit a few.
&ldquo;@Aam AadmiParty is abusing Punjab state machinery &amp; replicating Delhi model of excise in Punjab to benefit a selected few," said Sirsa in a tweet.
The excise policy shall be applicable for a period for nine months from July 1, this year till March 31, 2023.
The new excise policy aims to break the nexus of mafia involved in liquor trade, said the spokesperson.
The manufacturer, wholesaler and the retailer shall be at an arm's length distance with each other. They shall be completely isolated from each other with no common stakeholder between them, said the spokesperson.
Liquor smuggling from Chandigarh and neighbouring Haryana has been a major challenge for the state. The prices of liquor, including those of Indian Made Foreign Liquor (IMFL) and beer on an average are 30 to 40 per cent higher in Punjab compared to the prices in Chandigarh and Haryana.
The prices of liquor shall now be almost on par with the neighbouring states, said the spokesperson.
According to the new excise police, no quota has been fixed for lifting IMFL and beer by the retail licensees. However, the quota for the Punjab Medium Liquor (PML) remained what it was last year, said an official of the excise department.
The new excise policy stipulates to tap the actual potential of liquor trade by allotting 177 groups through a free, fair and transparent manner of e-tendering. Earlier, liquor vends were allotted on the basis of draw of lots.
The general size of the group shall be around Rs 30 crore and there shall be 6,378 vends in the state, said the spokesperson.
The excise duty on all kinds of liquor except PML shall be charged at the rate of one per cent of the wholesale price.

In a development raising questions about India's civil aviation safety, over 40 flight crew members failed their pre-flight alcohol tests in the first 4 months of this year. These included 9 pilots and 32 cabin crew members.
At least 2 pilots and 2 cabin crew members tested alcohol positive for the second time, leading to a 3-year suspension. The others were suspended for 3 months as it was their first offence.
The offenders included pilots and cabin-crew members of IndiGo, Go First, SpiceJet, Air India Express, AirAsia India, Vistara, Alliance Air, and Air India.
In April, the Directorate General of Civil Aviation, the Indian watchdog, had said that airlines must ensure that 50 per cent of their cockpit and cabin-crew members are subjected to pre-flight alcohol tests on a daily basis.
Before the Covid-19 pandemic, all crew members had to undergo alcohol tests.

Get ready to pay more for your beer during the peak summer season as brewers are seeking a 10 to 15 percent increase in the prices.
The demand to increase beer prices comes to offset higher barley and other raw materials costs, said a report by The Economic Times.
Prices of barley, the key ingredient for a lager, have surged 65 percent in the past year, while the industry also has to contend with the inflated packaging and transportation expenses.
United Breweries, the owner of popular beer brands -- Kingfisher and Heineken, during its March-quarter earnings said its gross margin was lower by 330 basis points as compared to the corresponding quarter of the previous financial year due to inflationary pressures witnessed in the prices of malt, packaging materials, and crude oil.
"The commodity cost picture remains challenging and volatile," it said, adding, "The company is in the process of securing price increases in combination with continued cost measures to mitigate this impact."
Alcohol prices in India are controlled by individual states. While some states such as Telangana and Haryana have increased prices, others are yet to do so.

In continuation of a nearly 100-year-old tradition, liquor was offered by devotees at a shrine in Punjab during an annual festival. Alcohol was offered as 'prasad' at the Baba Rode Shah shrine in Punjab's Amritsar.
The two-day annual fair reportedly started in Bhoma village on March 24. Devotees were seen thronging the shrine to first hand over their liquor bottles as an offering, and then distribute the alcohol to other devotees.
Liquor is offered at the shrine throughout the year, but the practice sees a spike during the annual festival, as per reports.Baba Rode Shah reportedly settled in Bhoma in 1896.
Local folklore says that his blessings once helped a childless farmer have a son. When the farmer offered him money, Baba Rode Shah is claimed to have refused and instead, asked for liquor to be distributed among devotees.
Shah is said to not have consumed alcohol himself. He reportedly died in 1924, and an annual fair has been organised in his memory ever since.
