The barley malt alkali contained in beer can effectively make people feel happy. Professor Pischetsrieder said: "The effect of feeling happy is triggered by the neurotransmitter dopamine. Surprisingly, a substance contained in beer can activate the dopamine D2 receptor in the brain's reward center. "

Dopamine binds to receptors and plays an exciting role. Although some substances are not dopamine, they can also bind to receptors, which is exciting. This may be the reason why we like drinking beer.
