Problems Caused by Alcohol Addiction

Alcoholism is no doubt one of the most severe problem of our society. We could note that in every ten families there is one member hooked to alcoholic substance. Alcohol abuse is one of the main cause of domestic violence and other crimes, in fact if you read tabloids you can see at least one or two alcohol abuse related violence.

How and when does alcohol substance such as wines and liquors cause crimes and domestic violence? We all know that once an alcoholic beverages is injested through the body system, it changes the mental and physical behavior of the one taking it. For example a very shy and quite type of human being becomes noisy and wild everytime he/she takes liquor, he/she has the capacity to say or do things he/she is not capable of doing when he/she is in the normal state of being without alcohol substance injested in his/her system and that's where the problem starts. There were many reported cases when a father arrives home drunk and not in his normal mental state, due to his too much drunkeness beats his wife and kids or even do worst than that. Another example is a very common incidents in depressed areas, two drinking buddies were already drunked and starts debating, since both of them were drunk their simple debate turns into an arguments causing the two of them to fight and I don't wanna tell what happened next. And I'm sure all of us are familliar about drunk driving cases. When an accidents happens in the road and the police came to investigate, they will discover that the driver is drunk. Don't drink and drive, it's dangerous, once you're drunk you feel very dizzy and it will not be a good idea if you will drive specially if you're driving a motor bike.

Local alcoholic beverages has billings such as "isang tagay sa tagumpay", "sumasarap ang samahan" and many other tag lines that sounds so cool to attracts drinkers to buy their product. But let's revise this tag lines and see if their really that cool. "Isang tagay sa tagumpay" means toast for the success, but because of alcohol abuse one lost his job because he is often absent and late for office because he always has hang over, was that success? "Sumasarap ang samahan" means friendship with drinking buddies is going stronger, but hpw about your relationship with your family, your wife, your kids? You feel so happy everytime you're having goodtime with your drinking buddies, but when you get home you point your attention to your wife and kids and beat them up, what kind of a father are you? Would you compromise your family ties juast because you value your drinking buddies more than your family, wake up!

More than this domestic violence and crimes related to alcohol abuse, drunkeness also causes health problems such as liver cirrhosis, tuberculosis, pancreatitis, heart attack, and mental problems such as deppression and phsychosis. I'm not writing this because I'm against liquor intake, but all I wanna say is take everything into moderation, don't be dpendent on alcoholic substance because abuse of this substance could lead to serious problems in health and in the society. And if you are already an alcohol dependent, have it cured, it is a desease that can be treated in rehabilitation centers. Drunkeness is an addiction, try to stop it while it's not too late. Liquor abuse could cause lost of jobs, families, friends and even lives, take it into moderation or better if you stop it.
