Enjoy the moments with lucidity

You could say that I am a person who almost never consumes alcohol, I grew up in a home where there was never alcohol and I never really normalized its consumption, however, as I became a teenager and an adult the time obviously came to try alcohol and by doing so this It did not cause me any fascination, in fact dark beer for example makes me sick to my stomach, but in my way of seeing things, human beings always follow socially learned behaviors without questioning whether they are right or wrong, which has seemed to me in many cases. cases a little dangerous, since everything is normal until people exceed their limits and their physical and social integrity is compromised by alcohol abuse.


I believe that in moderation, anyone can enjoy an alcoholic beverage just as they would enjoy a dessert, that is, it is not healthy for a person to consume desserts as a meal daily and in abundant quantities, everything in excess is bad, especially because most people do not recognize when alcohol consumption goes from being a social habit to an addiction.


Speaking in terms of freedom, anyone is free to consume the alcohol they want and it is their business, but when this consumption begins to negatively affect not only themselves in the social and work environment, but also their loved ones, then this The person is no longer free, because he or she is tied to an addiction that corrupts his life and turns him into something he is not, because he loses the ability to be himself.


I believe that a person does not need alcohol in a social environment to enjoy the moment, that is, alcohol should be something that accompanies the moment of enjoyment, but not the reason for the fun, myself a few days ago after not having having had alcohol for many years I decided to drink just a little with a friend who came to visit and these are the images that I show you, this for me was something unusual but I still enjoyed the moment, if I had removed the alcohol from the equation I would have enjoyed it anyway and I think that is the right thing to do because I do not feel tied to any social convention that forces me to do it 🥰

Likewise, alcohol is not necessary to enjoy and have a good time, that can be achieved without including it. Greetings 🤗

Yes,the problem is when alcohol is consumed in excess not only affects the person but also his or her family or even social context. This happens with addictions in general.

That's right, many people do not recognize that they have a problem, they claim to only drink alcohol socially

Hi bella, I think the same as you. At home alcohol was not seen as crucial in life either, in fact, my mom did not drink, my dad sometimes, at social events, however, this did not influence my life. Over the years I learned to drink, but, I think that alcohol is not a key element to have a good time in any social environment.

Enjoying good times can be done with or without alcohol. Thank you very much for commenting 😊

My life is the opposite of yours. I grew up with alcohol in the house because of my parents—my dad, when I was a kid, was always drunk, while my mom was influenced by my dad. That's why I was influenced to drink alcohol while I was in high school because I learned it from them.

When there was an occasion in our house, my uncles on our family's mother's side had a lot of liquor to celebrate every occasion. Here in our province, they have always bought alcohol when we celebrate, and we pair it with karaoke.
