That’s a brave piece of writing there. Frankly, I don’t think there is any upside to drinking. It may start as fun but it will only end up horribly. Of course, it’s completely socially sanctioned and “everybody” drinks but that doesn’t make it right in any way. It’s ruinous psychologically, socially, physically.
Human mental states are shaky at best and add alcohol to that and everything becomes that much more precarious. From a thing to do, a thing that your friends do, alcohol becomes a crutch, the raison d’être.
What can I say, except that I hope you quit.
Ps: Although I was never an alcoholic (but aren’t all drinkers alcoholics??) in my younger years when I drank but I am so much happier being a teetotaller.
In fact I would personally vouch to say that the “natural high” is the best high ever.
Natural being natural, without substances etc..
Best to you :)
