Alcohol helps people socialize. Friends meet and drink while relaxing and talking. Too much consumption of alcohol is on the other hand dangerous as it can lead to crime, unproductive use of time, layoffs and bad choices.

∙ 12y agoHuman beings are naturally social creatures and much of what we consider to be life affirming comes through social interaction. Alcohol, in limited quantities, tends to dis-inhibit behaviors through the mechanism of anesthesia in the frontal cortex of our brains. This can have mixed effects on behavior, and the social tendency is that we adhere to the old adage that birds of a feather flock together. In other words, you will find yourself hanging out with people who have a similar relationship with beverage alcohol that you do.
As alcohol intake is increased, and the duration of usage increases, months, weeks, and years, there is a more pronounced effect on some users. That same anxiety that made alcohol such an effective social lubricant becomes an anesthetic for anxieties resulting from the activities of daily living. Some users drink to the point of becoming asocial, preferring to spend much of their time in autistic fantasy rather than actually engaging in social activities. Others spend time in social activities but with people who drink like they do. A sampling of bar patrons will reveal that ninety percent of the alcohol consumed is consumed by about 10 percent of the habitual patrons. The contents of the communications will reveal that the patrons are also spending their time in autistic fantasy land, but in the company of other similarly disengaged individuals.
The effect over time for those who are susceptible to becoming chemically dependent is that they become increasingly withdrawn from meaningful social interaction, increasingly alienated from the general reality of those around them, and increasingly isolated because of their inability to respond appropriately to others.

No there is not really any such thing as social health. Social factors impact on a person's physical and mental/emotional health and wellbeing. Socialization opportunities and characteristics affect physiological and mental/brain states. Social determinants of health play a key role in societal and economic settings on one's health status in present and future. Social health is really about communities and the extent to which human communities and their physical attributes affect behaviours, norms, values and health at the individual, family and population levels. There is no such thing as social health as a dimension of one's health status, only whether social factors inhibit/deter or promote physical and mental health, and their continuity into the future.
