Alcohol.
One thing that pops into our mind when we hear this word is maybe, a glass of wine, party, friends and family, ambience, celebration?
Most of the time, every gathering/get together includes alcohol consumption for the sake of enjoyment, and certainly, it is indeed not bad I'd say.
According to research too, moderate consumption of alcohol can reduce the chances of many diseases related to the heart, even lower the chances of diabetes and Ischemic Strokes.
BUT! Moderate.
The main issue that we tend to face these days is the inappropriate age and the amount of consumption.
Alcohol usage during the teenage years, commonly, before the age of 18, opens up the possibilities of a wide range of health and social issues. At this point, no child has the conscience to manage themselves in such a position.
Similarly, people over the age of 60, are advised to consume the least amount of alcohol as they are prone to immense heart problems, liver failures and immune system disorders.
As per research, one or fewer drinks per day for a woman and two or fewer drinks for a man are considered to be a moderate amount if alcohol, provided their health conditions.
Alcohol Abuse And Alcoholism.
But when we think of alcohol ABUSE, then mostly what I imagine is domestic violence, rage and fights maybe? That is not it. Basically, what alcohol does is, it provokes the person. If you are happy that moment, you'll be exaggerating your happiness which usually, no one minds. But when a person is angry or sad, that moment, alcohol aggravates and heightens their emotions which mostly leads to inappropriate actions.
Alcohol abuse is not only to others, alcohol abuse starts from the person who is consuming it. Its a matter of shame that the person who is being abused doesn't even realise it.
When a person starts to drink excessively, then the first thing they are harming is not their well wishers or family, but themselves.
I am not here to tell WHAT alcohol abuse is or what it does to us. Everyone is well aware about that. But the reason I'm here with this topic is to take that person out from this. It is not an easy thing for the person himself ruining their body, health, relationships and future.
No rehab or medication can help an addict more than their own people.
~Try to stay calm around them and just prepare yourself for any kind of reaction to what you say.
It is really important for you guys to stay patient near an alcoholic.
~Try being a shoulder to them. As mostly the reason behind over drinking is the will to escape. Nowadays, as you all must notice that the conditions aren't pleasing. It is getting difficult for each and every person to spend the same monotonous schedule and realising at the end of the day that they weren't productive.
Alcohol was and is just an add on to the parties to enjoy the moment. It is us who have created the scenarios where alcohol seems harmful.
So, sit by their side, talk to them. If they aren't comfortable talking to you, consider consulting a psychologist just so the person opens up and expresses what they're going through.
It will surely help.
Take care of your loved ones.
Everyone and everyday is precious.
Stay healthy.
