anxiety without erasing traumatic memories by slowing the heart slightly. Scriptures in Proverbs allows alcohol consumption for a heavy heart. All other uses of alcohol are to be temperate. But alcohol is a drug and it is addicting. So beware of drinking alcohol beyond medicinal uses. Reading or listening to the Holy Scriptures daily helps to reduce anxiety, too. Listening to harp music is another help. Even King Saul who was afflicted by a demon spirit felt calmer and more peaceful when David played the harp for him.

The way this study appears to have been carried out (from the write-up in ynet, anyway, it shows one thing and one thing only: That those who make/partake in kiddush are less likely to be depressed. (As has been oft proven by studies before, religious people tend to be less depressed, for spiritual reasons and/or for the extended social support from belonging to a community, etc.) What kind of study in Israel asks about drinking alcohol once a week without controlling for kiddush?!

Alcohol is also highly addicting and causes a lot of damage to the body. Maybe Israeli researchers can do the world a favor and come up with a safe alternative.
