> <In this study of 84 bipolar patients (a subset of a larger sample population), Dr. Goldstein and his colleagues found statistically significant correlations between lifetime episodes of mania and intake of alcohol spirits, as well as a statistically significant relationship between subjects who drank wine and those who experienced more friction in the workplace. Beer was found to be negatively associated with depressive symptoms.>
