My personal argument: HANGOVERS. Okay, so that may not convince some here or even convince you, but during one particularly nasty hangover as I was spewing up for the fourth or fifth time, a thought occurred to me. This thought was: Is it really worth boozing up to have my body wracked with these horrible spasms of nausea?
I'm not that big of a fan of drinking, it's expensive, the hangovers and the fact that once I get started I have this tendency to just keep on going to almost pass-out point. Plus the fact that I don't always feel so good emotionally after consuming stuff, the feeling is that of emptiness almost.
But that's me, that's my own argument against myself for the reduction and possibly even elimination of booze in my life. It's my own reactions to the alcohol which are the basis of my arguments, I do have a rather sensitive body and I haven't exactly taken good care of it. That's something I'm trying to change.
So to sum it all up: My argument against booze-
-very painful hangovers
-expensive
-addictive tendencies
-not feeling so good emotionally, for some can take a while to get back to 'working order'
-addictive tendencies ---> alcoholism ---> ruinous effect on an already ill-managed body (as the case maybe with some people)
