Researchers belonging to the University of Santiago de Compostela in Spain conducted a meta-analysis because the relationship between PMS and alcohol was unclear in previous studies. Analysis was conducted on 19 studies conducted in the past, data of a total of 47,000 subjects. As a result, alcohol intake was associated with raising the risk of PMS by 45%, indicating that excessive alcohol intake was associated with increasing PMS risk by 79%.

However, Professor Elizabeth Bertone-Johnson of the University of Massachusetts Amherst pointed out the possibility that the causal relationship is opposite in relation to the above relation. Many of the meta-analyzed studies have been done in the form of asking women who have experienced PMS about alcohol intake and because it can be considered that women were drinking to ease the symptoms of PMS. "Based on this research it is too early to conclude that alcohol will aggravate PMS," Bertone-Johnson said.

In order to know more about the relationship between drinking and PMS, it is necessary to follow female subjects from their teens and to investigate the symptoms and drinking habits of PMS.

On the other hand, although scientifically still unclear parts are left, Professor Bertone-Johnson said that women suffering from PMS stop seeing alcohol and see changes in the body is "reasonable." I am talking.
