 enjoyment? habit? escapism?
hi,
For me: nothing is as refreshing as cold beer. The problem comes in when it gets past refreshment and into a means of escapism/alcoholism. For the six years I did not drink alchol: I drank more soda and coffee. My body has told me to lay off the soda and reduce the coffee; I feel much better. I have also drank so much, at times, that I woke up the next morning wondering why I felt as I did (I thought I had not drank). There is also definite impairment the next day. I believe that alcohol is a depressant. One glass, per day, of wine or beer, seems to be about right. |
