Drinking too much is bad for you. Period. However, research shows that, for instance, moderate drinking of wine has substantial health benefits. Now a new study finds that drinking also increases happiness (you thought so). Researchers in the U.K. set out to quantify the happiness boost you get from a glass of rosé. They used an app called Mappiness, created by the London School of Economics, to survey 31,000 users on their happiness at random points several times a day, on a scale of 1 to 100. They found that when users were drinking, their happiness increased by 10.79 points.
