Have you noticed that fewer sports trading opportunities, lockdown, may have other disturbing effects on our health?
In isolation, we increasingly reach for alcohol.
We drink to relax, forget about a problem, or simply – out of boredom. Meanwhile, alcohol is the strongest legal, widely available, and acceptable range depressant, and its relaxing effect is only temporary. In many people, worse mood and anxiety build up after 3 hours of consumption.
The boundary between ‘entertainment’ drinking and addiction is extremely thin. Especially in the period of high, long-term tension and stress – and these are the emotions caused by the current pandemic situation in the country and in the world. Staying in a small, closed space, with other family members 24 hours a day – for which we were not prepared and to which we are not accustomed – we should absolutely give up alcohol.
Although quarantine is conducive to the more frequent use of alcohol, if we decide to drink it, it is good to use common sense and make sure that our drinking is not risky or harmful, as it can cause you to lose control over your own life. Too frequent and uncontrolled drinking can lead to serious problems. Experts point out that alcohol problems can affect anyone, regardless of age, gender, social status, or occupation.
Similarities Between Alcoholism and Gambling Addiction
There is a large percentage of people who suffer from alcoholism that have issues with gambling addiction, and vice versa. While there could be several reasons as to why someone may experience both, many researchers are looking at the similarities between the two addictions as the answer. The underlying reactions that are triggered in the brain when someone consumes alcohol are very similar to when someone gambles. In fact, the brain will release dopamine after someone gambles, the same process that happens in addictive drugs. The way these two reactions can stack on each other makes the potential of alcoholism and gambling addiction as co-occurring disorders even more likely.
Those potential alcohol problems can affect you as a trader. As researchers say alcohol addiction can have an impact on your trading. It is an easy way to become a gambler.
So please stay focus during this pandemic period. Do not drink too much.
Remember when sports back soon, never trade when drinking alcohol, even avoid small pint of beer!
