The leading cause of arguments this Christmas will be alcohol, according to mental health charity Mind.
Drinking too much was found to be the most likely cause of arguments, ranked above personality clashes, money issues, what to watch on TV, board games, Brexit and the office Christmas party.
What’s more, drinking booze isn’t great news for health. According to Dr Patrick Kennedy, consultant hepatologist and gastroenterologist at King Edward VII’s hospital, excessive Christmas drinking can have a major impact on health, “affecting the brain, the heart and our skin”.
But December doesn’t have to be this way. With a few simple cutbacks, you can enjoy the festivities while keeping your liver (and relationships with family members) in tact.
