Alcohol has been used strongly to enhance the life and enjoyable drink.When celebrating a glass of wine with your loved one, too many glasses can turn a happy gathering into a violent and angry situation. Relaxing after work with a bottle of beer is relaxing and gives some down time. Whereas the glass of wine relieves stress and this alcohol continues to have adverse effects on health and life
