Alcohol's domino effect

Alcohol alters your thoughts and senses. It makes you sensitive at the same time insensitive. It can make you look intelligent at the same time you look like a dumb person.

At the age of 18, I already started drinking. I am even boasting that I have already drunk every alcohol there is. I drank beer, wine, tequila, gin, vodka, brandy and rhum. Not everything but almost all.

When I am drinking, I feel like all the stress I feel in life are being released. I thought when I drink, I will be able to forget all the problem that I have. I was wrong.

Now that I am older and sober, I realized that resorting my problem to drinking didn't help at all. It oftentimes worsened the situation. Why do I say so?

Example are people who worries everyday about getting money for food. With the little money they have, they use that to buy alcohol. Did the problem disappeared? It didn't. It actually doubled. Now, that person has a headache due to hungover and he lost the little money he had.

Reckless driving.

Someone's child died because of reckless driving. The reason was the driver was intoxicated with alcohol. The child's dream of becoming a policewoman turned into ashes. The driver was put to jail. Justice served. But it won't return the child's life. That can happen to you too. Either the child's or the driver's fate. Either way, it ends up bad. It's like a domino effect. So DON'T DRINK AND DRIVE.

There are organizations that supports people that are considered alcohol dependent. They help people who thinks that they cannot live without alcohol. They help people get through the withdrawal period. If you are a person or if you know a person who is an alcohol dependent, reach out to these organizations. You cannot do it on your own. There are people that will help you get through it.

Written from 7:00pm to 7:10pm. Used my phones digital clock.

Used the classic pen and paper so I was able to write more words than usual.

Used Grammarly in typing the words to this platform.

This is my second entry. Hope you'll like it.

Me too. After stop drinking for a few years, it is actually hard to even finish a can of beer. I am still able to drink the delicious one, like wine and cocktail occasionally.

Keep yourself busy with writing for example and do not drink too much coffee or cola while writing. πŸ‘

There's nothing wrong with enjoying a glass once in a while unless you have been addicted for years.

Nice write up. Rehabilitation is really a need for alcoholic persons. It is not easy to overcome that on their own. Especially when alcohols are cheap and stores are just a few steps away. Like here in the Philippines. Almost every store sells alcohol, even during liquor ban. πŸ˜…

Exactly. I think the price doesn't matter anymore. Remember about the price increase in cigarettes. From 2pesos to 5 pesos per stick but still, a lot of people are still buying it. I can even see underage person smoking it. Same thing for alcohol consumption.

With us not many smoke these days. It's no longer cool but more teenagers are drinking themselves into a coma although they are not allowed to buy it. You mainly see the low educated drink, smoke, those who love to skip school. We can use any topic that keeps us or a society busy or people search for on the internet. These topics will make what we write to be found easilier too. πŸ˜πŸ‘πŸ€

Here in our country the age of teenagers that smoke are younger also even they are not allowed to buy. But most of the store only think of the income they can get from selling rather than the buyers health benefits..

Yeah. Sad reality. Even if there's penalty if they sell to minors, they still do it secretly just to have some income.

Thank you. My inspiration on this article is about an old friend who got hit and run. Unfortunately, he didn't make it and died. 😭 I hope he'll find justice though.

All of it related with human nature. If there is a positive effect on someone then there is a negative effect on someone.

What you wrote at the start might be the most dangerous thing... Those opposite of drinking. Not only for the drinker but others as well. If you drink you will not easily admit you drink too much.
