We are talking about a multi-billion rand industry.
One that continuously makes ads that propagates and advocates heavy drinking and reckless behaviour passing it as ‘cool’ and ‘hip’. There is nothing cool or hip about drinking alcohol. Years of alcohol abuse can catch up with an individual’s health and looks.
Here is the lowdown on alcohol addiction and it’s disadvantages
- Alcohol is processed in the liver, an organ that was not designed to handle that kind of pressure.
- Ladies sorry but alcohol is not good for your skin, overtime your face shows the tell-tell signs of alcohol abuse and they are not pretty.
- Alcohol stays in the blood stream way after you have had your drinking session, that’s why alcohol
- addicts need it to cope; it has become part of their blood and metabolism.
- Supporting an alcohol addiction is expensive
- Alcohol damages many regenerative cells in the boy, including those in the brain.
- Alcohol is the leading cause in road accidents and reckless driving.
- Alcohol is highly addictive.
People assume that because alcohol is sociably accepted and fun then there is no way it can be harmful. It has toxic ingredients many of which do not get digested y the body but stay in the blood stream. A glass of red a day is said to reduce the signs of ageing and has been proven to effectively reduce certain cancers in women and men. Then maybe accurate but when you need a whole bottle a day just to cope then maybe it’s time to go that AA meeting.
The disadvantageous also have serious implications since people lose family, their jobs and careers, their health, their houses and homes and some lose their lives because their livers fail. It’s okay to go to party and skip a drink one Saturday; you can still have fun without being ‘sloshed’ as money would say. Plus it would save you from that painful ‘what was I thinking hangover the next day.
