More and more, we are learning that being happy has a positive impact on our physical and mental health. And there is no quicker way to feel happy than to have a laugh. So what makes you laugh?

Whatever tickles you, seek it out often.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Booze<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>For anyone who already drinks alcohol, drinking in moderation can be good for your physical and emotional health. Moderation for men is no more than two drinks a day and for women, it\u2019s no more than one drink a day. A drink after a long day of work can relax you. A drink with friends can improve your mood and sociability. Moderate drinking can also lower your risk of cardiovascular disease and improve your libido. This isn\u2019t an invitation to start drinking if you are not a drinker. But if you are a drinker, a drink or two can be relaxing and help you escape reality.
