It's not a secret for anyone - there are events in life that simply cannot be ignored by the use of one or another strong drink. Moreover, sociologists and psychologists have noticed that some joys and sorrows are filled with wine more often than others.
Today we present Top 10 reasons to drink, which did not include the coming New Year - everyone remembers about it. It is noteworthy that regardless of the occasion, the most popular toasts in the world are the eternal "To health!" and "For you!"
10. Romantic date
Psychologists agree that a glass of wine really helps relieve stress and tune in to a romantic mood. But alcohol abuse can lead to the fact that in the morning not all the participants in the date will be able to remember its details.
9. Corporate party
It is so accepted that in the company of work colleagues they do not refuse to drink. Unwilling to drink immediately raises suspicions of unfaithfulness to the team, of poor health, of professional unsuitability, finally. Therefore, according to polls, about 70% of Russians never give up drinking at a corporate party.
8. Housewarming
Even if the arrival of guests is not expected, it is customary to celebrate the move to a new house with the clink of glasses. This is not surprising, because the purchase of housing is the cherished dream of millions. And when a dream comes true, it's not a sin to celebrate.
7. Promotion
As a rule, the promotion of the career ladder is more often noted with alcohol by men. Naturally, one would like to demonstrate success to friends and acquaintances by ordering a bottle of wine at a higher price.
6. Dismissal from work
This is the most common occasion for drinking alone. Even if the decision was voluntary, for many, a glass of alcohol can help relieve the inevitable stress and anxiety.
5. Parting with a girl (boyfriend, wife, husband)
In such a situation, someone drinks from grief, someone from joy. But in any case, such a radical change in life, as a rule, is not complete without alcohol - stress after all.
4. Birth of a child
In the vast majority of cases, the birth of an heir is a reason to drink for a happy father. It is clear that an equally happy mother is simply not up to it. But men often celebrate such a joyful event for several days in a row.
3. Large purchase
