"Happy Hours" were originally created as a form of entertainment to distract men out at sea from the day to day workings on the ship and keep them in good spirits. Rather than drinking, they would box, wrestle, enjoy music, or watch movies. During Prohibition, the term "Happy Hour" was picked up to describe the time when people would secretly meet for a few pre-dinner cocktails in private homes or speakeasies before heading out to the restaurants that couldn't serve alcohol.
Today, we don't have to sneak around to enjoy a few cocktails together. (Thank goodness!) We are free to enjoy a drink anytime that we want. There are a few benefits to meeting up with friends and co-workers during Happy Hour though. Please keep in mind that these benefits only hold up when you drink responsibly and in moderation.
Improves life at the office.
Having a drink with your co-workers after the work day is over is a great way to de-stress and get to know each other in a more relaxed atmosphere. Getting the chance to form relationships outside of work pressures and deadlines can help everyone to work together better once you get back to the office.
Lowers depression.
Studies have shown that spending time enjoying the company of others relieves built up tension and lowers the risk of depression. Both of those things are excellent for improving your overall mental health at work and at home.
Improves heart health.
We've covered the many surprising health benefits of beer, when consumed in moderation, in a past blog. One of those benefits is boosting your "good" cholesterol by 10-20%, which aids in reducing the chances of heart disease, stroke, and heart attacks.
Easier to get to the weekend.
As the old song goes, "Everybody's working for the weekend!" Well, taking part in Happy Hour at our Des Moines BBQ restaurant is a great way to make that weekend seem not so far away. All work and no play is no fun at all. Invite the office, and your friends outside of the office, to join you for a mid-week break. You all deserve it!
