We've all done stupid stuff after too many drinks -- like, in my case, trying to tackle a stop sign. And now science is here to tell us that, yes, you probably feel less pain after a few drinks. 。
The study, published in。 The study, published in。The Journal of Pain 。
in December 2016 but making the rounds online this week, involved 18 experiments with a total of 404 participants who were administered pain threshold and intensity tests based on alcoholic and non-alcoholic beverages. The new findings concluded that, "alcohol is an effective analgesic that delivers clinically-relevant reductions in ratings of pain intensity." 。SEE ALSO:You can now buy a 40 of rosé because we've reached peak rosé

In other words, this could be a contributing factor to why some people who experience physical pain drink alcohol, and it could drive more studies which may lead to "raising awareness of alternative, less harmful pain interventions to vulnerable patients," the study notes.。

It's all about the moderation. 。
It's also important to remember that, while this is an analysis of many experiments, it's not the end of the line for this kind of research. 。
As anyone who thinks science is a good thing knows, it's going to take loads more work to come up with a well-rounded view of how alcohol and pain relate to one another. 。
