Reasons to enjoy Fridays Happy Hour in Canberra

1. It’s the perfect time to socialise with coworkers and friends.

They say some of the best moments in life are done over drinks. Spending time together with your friends and colleagues will improve your relationships with them. You will be able to learn about them more than you can in a day-to-day interaction. For workmates, you may be able to discuss work-related stuff freely that you haven’t had time to discuss in the office. For friends, you may be able to discover some shared interests and skills that you are previously unaware of.

Spending a couple of drinks during happy hour will ease the usually shy and reserved people into becoming more open. Talk about everything from cocktail recipes to science fiction. Happy hour creates the perfect environment to relax and socialise.

2. Drinking booze moderately during happy hour is good for you.

Indeed, drinking too much liquor is bad for you, but if done moderately, it does wonders to your health. According to the National Health and Medical Research Council, alcohol has some health benefits at low levels of consumption. Many studies cited by the council suggest that drinking reduces the risk of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular disorders and ischaemic stroke.

Combined with socialisation with friends and colleagues, happy hour benefits your psychological health. Spending time with people and talking about a variety of interests can lower the risk of depression and help you live longer. As always, drink responsibly. Set limits and stick to them.

3. Save up with discounted drinks.

Going out of town and hitting the bars and restaurants for drinks can get pretty expensive. If you want to maintain an active nightlife in Canberra, your expenses can rack up. Happy hour is the best time to hit up your favorite restaurant because the price of drinks will be at their lowest all night. You should never pass this opportunity up.
