Many people drink alcohol to relax and feel good at the end of the day, but a new study suggests skipping that daily glass of wine is a better way to boost mental health.

"When people get sober, they a lot of times will feel calmer, their anxiety diminishes and there's less irritability. They just say, 'Wow, that's a better place to be,'" said Dr. James C. Garbutt, a psychiatry professor at the Bowles Center for Alcohol Studies at the University of North Carolina.
