Your Drinking Habits Are Affected By People You Don’t Know
Donnerstag 8. April 2010 von htm
A new study found that the influence of your friends and people you have connections with can affect your health just as much as your family history or your genetic background. According to a study published in Annals of Internal Medicine the drinking habits of the people in your extended social group can determine if you’re likely to drink heavily or not at all. The study found a person was 50% more likely to drink heavily if a person they are directly connected with also drinks heavily. The effect wasn’t limited to immediate contacts, it also found a person was 36% more likely to drink heavily if a friend of a friend was a heavy drinker and at three degrees of separation was still 15% more likely to do so.
