Raise the glass to all the alcoholics
I don't have any problems with alcoholics or with any person who drinks alcohol but not an alcoholic. They don't need my approval to drink and I am well aware of that. I will never obstruct from their drinking pattern or wishes.
But what I can't bear up with is when they prioritize a bottle of beer before their friends and it hurts deep. They would go to any extent to have that drink even though it will hurt their friends. They also demand that their friends should bear up with them being drunken and assist them in hiding the truth to their families.
When they are drunken, in a state of intoxication, the words they tell, the actions they do are too hilarious but I restrain myself from getting angry or laughing at them because I think both getting angry and laughing will positively reinforce them to further similar behaviours and they are still my friends and me laughing at them in their state of intoxication makes me a bad person. But the most difficult for me is guessing whether such behaviours are due to their intoxication occurring without their conscience or are they doing those behaviours with their conscience wanting to make a joke of themselves.
The recent trend I am seeing in some people who drink alcohol is them quoting a few studies published stating that people drinking alcohol have many health benefits compared to non-drinkers. I just want to say that accepting a very few studies while there is a pile of evidence stating the ill-effects of alcohol, is not science. The best is to look at a meta-review comparing all those studies.
So this is to my friends who drink, that I am not prejudiced about you or against you drinking but please prioritize your options first and don't put your friends lower to a bottle of beer.
