A recent study conducted by the University of Copenhagen says that drinking beer while playing pool with friends helps older men remain active, as it’s a sign of healthy socializing and it also combats the process of aging as elderly pool players still need to utilize their muscles.

Here are some other benefits of billiards you can bank on:

When you play pool, you’ll need to stretch more, need to bend across the tabletop for reaching the cue ball at a desired angle, more so when complex shots are needed. At times, you’ll need to stand on one foot, which would improve your stability.

Regular billiards and pool players often have sharper minds, as the game requires mental mathematical calculations and estimates to be performed, such as basic physics and geometry while playing.

Since the hand-eye coordination is a crucial factor to win a game of pool, your hands will become agile and swift and be able to perform finite and minute tasks.

Playing pool and billiards is often a family affair, as they can be played by anyone, regardless of their sex or age.
