Solitary drinking differs significantly from social drinking in terms of psychological effects and overall well-being. Research indicates that solitary drinking tends to elicit feelings of depression and does not provide the same joy or euphoria experienced when drinking socially. Drinking alone lacks the infectious happiness that arises from shared experiences with others while consuming alcohol. In contrast, social drinking often leads to golden moments where individuals genuinely smile simultaneously at one another, fostering easier conversations and enhanced happiness. Moreover, studies show that individuals who drink lightly or moderately are happier and psychologically healthier than those who abstain from alcohol altogether.
