Why Alcohol?!


Question: Why Alcohol!?
I will be ashamed for writing this tomorrow, but I'd like to know why alcohol and why me!? I love red wine, I live in Italy and it's cheap and everywhere !.!.!. but I know it's made me gain some weight, and I know I hate waking up with hangovers and wondering what the hell I did the night before!. I've made mistakes while drinking and even gone to work hung over or still drunk from the night before !.!.!. but I don't crave alcohol, and I know it's my CHOICE !.!.!. but then it's like I'm drunk, and I give Mr!. Hyde they keys to take over !.!.!. I have llittle stress in my life, I like myself a lot !.!.!. so is there some reason why I do this so regularly!?!?

If you say "disease" or "addiction", no 10 points !.!.!. I have a skin disease that came when I was 6, disease is NOT a choice, and addiction is physically needing something to not freak out, as in I am addicted to cigarettes!.

Thanks!. Bisous!.Www@Answer-Health@Com


Answers:
An addiction is not only something you physically need but can also be something you mentally need!. Anything that is effecting your life in negative ways but you won't stop doing is an addiction!. If you can't stop before getting to the point that you are making mistakes, not remembering the night before, going to work with a hangover or still drunk, then you have a problem whether you choose to admit it or not!. Learn the word "no" and start using it when offered a drink!. If you can't do that then you should go find some help!. And don't be ashamed for writing this!. It is most likely a call for some help!. This is your first step!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Alcohol breaks down into similar chemical as heroin does!. (Yes it actually does) And from substance abuse, including alcohol, your neurons reform pathways, leading to an addiction (the brain IS changed, that is why it is called a disease)!. But back on point!. Alcohol is VERY addicting!. It breaks down into the same chemicals that heroin does, and does similiar damage on your body!.

Plus, you could be predisposed to alcoholism, which is a disease (genetic disease) Ask your parents about alcoholism in the family!. If you are predisposed to alcoholism, this makes it harder for you to quit drinking, and makes it impossible for you to have on drink and stop there!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Kudos on not buying into the crowd that blames everything on disease!. You may have a personality that dictates that you may need something to enjoy an event or 'use' something to do better at an activity!. If you enjoy alcohol, and there are no huge problems, you shouldn't worry about it!. If you seem to drink it more frequently than you were, I would seek to stop drinking all together!. But that's just my opinion!.!.!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Well personally I think it's because you dont have major stress in your life, so you dont really care if you drink or not!.!. the temptation is there!.!. just like chocolate!.!. i dont think you have a problem with alcohol, i think you have a problem enjoying the feeling you get when you're drunk!. if you dont agree then maybe you should seek professional help, or before you spend your money on that!.!. try to go for a whole week without drinking it!.!. if you can't then maybe you do have an addition but dont realize it!.!. its nothing to be ashamed of!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

I'm the same way!. (except for going to work hungover! lol) I say more power to you!. It sounds like to me that you are at least responsible about it and don't drink and drive!. As far as doing things (or mistakes as you put it) who cares!!!!! You're having fun, you're enjoying yourself, and to me that's what matters!. Plus it's a good feeling when you're doing it!. Hell, next time you go drinking give me a call!!!!Www@Answer-Health@Com

looks like to be you just like the taste and you have no self control stop drinking!.!.!.!.!.i ruins your liver and your life you thin you living a good life then BOOM you are in the hospital think about that the next him you want to get drunk sure some red wine would be fine but there is a limit good luck hope you pick the right choiceWww@Answer-Health@Com

Maybe because you just plain like it!. Since it's easy to get you're hands on then I would think it's like people buying snack or soda or something like that!. You do it because you like it and because you can!.

If you're trying to stop, I suggest you find something better to do, like a hobby of some sort!. If you just want to cut down a bit, then try to keep yourself away from it at certain times!. Maybe only drink on weekends!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Ummm!.!.!. I can tell you that alcohol almost killed me!. I'm a born again Christian!. So, you just answered the question with the question!. Why do you need alcohol to have a good life!? The Bible says stay away from the strong drink!. The Lord knows best!. Natural highs are the best highs!. Trust me!. I know from my experiences in life!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

stress and life style!. !.as u said ur choice!.!. we all make them as we all make a choice not to drink or to drink!.!. if u don';t like the feeling then don't and if need be get some new friends!.!. that don't push u!.!. if ur not sure what it is try a AA meeting and listen to them!.!. and see if they are saying or feeling like u!.!. doesn't hurt to try!.!. and if its not what theyn are saying !.!. then just take it a day a time!.!. with none!.!. try a soda or water instead!.!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

I guess you just like the way you feel when you drink!.!.!!!
It's not that you need it but you like to feel this way,of course not the hangover part!.!.!!:P
Maybe you could start drinking less,and still have fun and relax without having to deal with the awful hangover the next day!.!.!.!!:SWww@Answer-Health@Com

I think its just a social thing, you drink with your friends or by ureself!? i mean you "gave the keys away" !.!. i think its just sumtin social, like if you wana get away from it try chillin with people who dont drink, or drink as much

Not sure what you want anyone to say!.

Get help!. Professional help!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Because you like the taste or more likely, the effect it has on you!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

i think that you do not know the meaning of the word moderation!.!.!.!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

I think you can want to drink alot without being an alcoholic!. I like to drink a lot, but if I want to stop, I simply quit!. I started a new diet and exercise program with a gym and they told me not to drink!. It sucks cause I like to, but just because I drink a lot doesn't mean I can't stop and it doesn't mean I'm and alcoholic!. My advice to you is to get the will power to just say no to yourself when you come across a situation where alcohol is involved!. It could be buying it at the store cause its on sale or having a glass of wine at dinner!. Good luck! hope this helps!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

First of all, congrats on not falling for this incredibly stupid American notion that anything you like to do often is a 'disease' or 'addiction'!. I don't think theres anything wrong with you liking to drink wine, and heaven knows there have been numerous studies showing Europeans who consume 1 or more glasses of wine a day are healthier, more stress free and live longer than Americans!. If it bothers you that you do not remember what you did the night before (which it would also bother me, especially if you did something sexual with someone!.!.you dont want to catch a disease or get pregnant) then I would first look at your family and ask your mom, dad, grandparents if they drank like you did when they were young and had the same effects!. You may just be genetically predisposed to not remember stuff when you drink a little heavily!. Also, if you hate the hangovers, you might want to spend a little more money on organic wines!. Here is what I read on them: " Organic wine, drunk in moderation, is less likely to give you a hangover than standard wine!. All wines are treated with sulphur dioxide to help prevent deterioration in taste, but most organic winemakers tend to add far less than is routine practice!. Many people react badly to sulphur and get headaches, so it is fair to say that organic wine is less likely than normal wine to give you a hangover!."

Personally, I think drinking for you is fun, and you probably hang out with other people who feel the same!. It gives you something to do socially, relaxes you, and makes you feel good!. Europeans are much more relaxed about these things than puritanical (and hypocritical) Americans, so have fun baby! As long as you don't try driving home drunk, or have risky sexual encounters due to drinking where you could catch HIV or other STD's, then party away!. But my advice to you is to have a trusted friend who doesn't drink as much as you or get drunk keep an eye on you so that you don't do anything stupid or risky!. Life is short!.!.!.enjoy it while you can!Www@Answer-Health@Com
