I drink occasionally,
im an occasional drinker.. sounds good, right? More like a moderate drinker but
let me tell you something really interesting that might make you rethink about
this statement.
Drinking occasionally may not be baleful but never safe, in
science there is no exact amount of alcohol which is considered as moderate; perhaps
its drinking less than average but what is the average amount anyway?
According to the U.S. Department of Agriculture and the
Dietary Guidelines for Americans the definition of moderate drinking is less
than one drink per day, may vary alcoholic drinks wise, like beer, wine, vodka
,etc. no matter which drink it may be as long as its alcohol it can never be
more than 2 or 3 drinks a week.
If all drinkers limited themselves to a single drink a week,
we probably wouldn’t need as many cardiologists, liver specialists, mental
health professionals, and substance abuse counsellors. But not everyone who likes
to drink alcohol stops at just one, like many friends of mine esp a friend I really
care about, cannot let alcohol go particularly when trying to enjoy a party, says
the booze is required so I can dance and feel good, although people know it’s not
the real booze they are willing to get but psychological dependency which is
required to gain confidence in public, they are willing to do it, parties seem
to happen occasionally for them but damage isn’t occasional tbh.
Another fact that might be considered for this love for
alcohol is ‘ the genetic game’, yesss! Genetic plays an important role in
determining an individual’s preferences for alcohol and his or her likelihood
for developing alcoholism. Alcoholism does not follow the simple rules of
inheritance set out by Gregor Mendel. Instead, it is influenced by several
genes that interact with each other and with environmental factors, environmental
factor at times turns out to be seriously irksome for people who doesn’t really want to
drink but the comely pack of people, music , dinner tables with wines and many things
gradually sets stuff comfortable
Occasional drinking have increased the risk of myocardial infraction
and other heart diseases, after investigating thoroughly about health benefits
of alcohol; I finally give up on trying to find out what good can we get out
from ‘mendacious drink’ alcohol.
To get rid of this occasional error, the only way out is to
understand it’s all about genes, environmental factor and above all
psychological acceptance of alcohol.
Once you say no to it, theres nothing that can make you
drink.. it’s all about you wish to quit or you don’t and if you don’t, make sure
not to go to have medicines when sick, not going to hospital for regular
checkups because you know what is happening and why is it happening.
Prepare yourself to die younger, hurt those who loves you, if religious; sin, welcome dullness and reluctant behavior towards work, studies and success and end up having disease called alcoholism
