Drink Moderately

[shinningstar]

An alcohol is helpful in our body which simply means that there's nothing wrong of drinking alcoholic drink as long as it's not too much. There's always an advertisement in the television about Drinking Moderately. Do you care about it?

Naturally the ads will press the need to drink moderately. Realistically, they do little as far as preventing people from intoxicating themselves.

Drinking for people with normal pathologies is surely ok :) and may indeed have some benefits HOWEVER drinking for people with the abnormal pathology of alcoholism is not simply NOT OK it can and does kill them.:mad:

I second to that capecod. Even myself I only drink either for fun or to socialize with friends. Unlike my friend, alcohol for her is like a water. She's always drunk that's why she was raped.

Drunkards have their own motto: Alcohol taste so good!!!! That´s why, the never have the boundary of taking it, not thinking of what would be the consequences after all.

I think many people drink and have no problem. But it is hardly a necessity of life. it would be easier for recovering alcoholics if this drug wasn't so pervassive. Even when you want to avoid it, it is difficult!

There's no need for us to avoid alcohol. The best thing to do is to CONTROL drinking alcohol.

You should have to learn how to manage yourself once you drink alcohol.

I think that the TV adds against drinking and driving probably cause people to watch out for their friends after they've had a few drinks, even if the people drinking too much don't pay attention to them.

Also, as I understand alcoholism, there's a very different chemical reaction there which makes attempting to drink in moderation very difficult. I believe that for someone in that situation, it's much better to not drink at all. This is my impression after speaking to friends who are alcoholics.

The problem with this idea is that many alcoholics CAN'T control their drinking, whether it's a daily six-pack or binge drinking. The only way to keep alcohol from running their lives is to stay away from it altogether. It's the old concept of "One is too many, fifty isn't enough."

For most people, drinking in moderation is perfectly acceptable and in some parts of the world, a glass of wine with supper is the norm. The trick is to be able to see when you've started sliding from moderation to causing problems in your life.

Once your alcoholic, you cannot control anymore of craving for alcohol. Your mind doesn´t work anymore if you have not taken alcohol. It is really a big problem if your alcoholic, imagine, trembling and sweating until you got to drink alcohol. The most effective way of treating it is to go to a therapy. And this costs very high.

Treatment doesn't have to be expensive. AA has been helping people for decades and it doesn't cost anything to go to the meetings. And then there are the offshoot groups to help families cope as well. It all starts with realizing there's a problem and deciding to do something about it.

Its okay to get a bit drunk sometimes to get the daily tension off your mind but only when you know your limits otherwise its better to stay off it.

[Roxy]

It is very easy to say that we should control drinking but this is not so easy as it seems to be. People specially the youngsters find it very happening and cool to drink and smoke which is wrong. They are aware of the harmful effects but do not care about it.

[easternbrain]

I totally agree with you. People dont seem to realise when they have crossed the line and get inebriated.

[marlboro]

its proved also that drinking moderately is not going to harm you but not many of the people understand it. They do not have the strong will to control themselves and often get driven away.

[easternbrain]

I can understand how it is? Its just like my smoking habit. I know that it is harming me but still I cannot resist the temptation of having just "one more". But I havent given up. After many unsuccessful attempts of quitting smoking, I start one of my attempts again.

There is nothing wrong in drinking alcohol as long as you maintain your limitations ans when you cross those limit then problem arises for you. It is going to be real tough for you to control things then.

[easternbrain]

The problem arises when people do not know their limitations or if they know it they do not respect their limitations.

Moderate drinking is not harmfull studies show that people who consume one glass of natural red wine a day have a healthier heart and have smaller chances to get a heart atack, so moderate drinking belive it or not, is sometimes benefic to many people.
