Researchers from the University of Greenwich, over the course of 18 studies, have reportedly found that consuming two pints of beer can cut discomfort by a quarter. According to researchers, findings suggest that alcohol is an effective analgesic that delivers clinically relevant reductions in ratings of pain intensity. Dr Trevor Thompson, who led the study, reportedly said, “(Alcohol) can be compared to opioid drugs such as codeine and the effect is more powerful than paracetamol.”
