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.

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.
