Drinking Alcohol is a vice.  |
|
 Many people say that alcoholic drinking is a bad habit. I do not agree to this. Some doctors, have said that if you drink in moderation, it is good for your health, and only when you drink in excess, your health is affected.
In India, drinking is still considered as a vice, and today all the shops which sell alcoholic drinks were closed in the entire country, because it is the birth day of our father of the nation "Gandhiji". Usually people do not drink in their houses, and always go to a bar to quench their thirst.
What is the practice in your country. Is drinking considered a vice/sin or is it accepted by the establishment.

2.  indybaty (249) | 3 months ago |  In my country, to drink alcohol is not condemmed, however, when there are holidays were there is respect for the dead, like the day of the dead or just recently that an expresident of ours died, and they gave us 8 hours of mourning where no establishment that sales alcohol could do it.
To drink moderately is fine, but I feel that lately, there are no limits when it comes to alcohol, the level of alcoholics has increased quite significantly because of several factors such as every day living and increase in prices of regular foods and their are only 2 or 3 registered AA asociations here.
So there is good and bad when drinking isnt condemmed, but I feel it is the individuals choice. To drink all the time is a VICE and to want it all the time is a habit. I only wish that people would be smarter and think before they want to go out and get wasted drunk!
Happy Mylotting

| rameshkumaar57 (1614) | 3 months ago | You are right indybaty, it is the individuals choice, a individual should have self control, not only in drinking, but in other aspects also.
Thanks for the response. | |

3.  Pose123 (5796) | 3 months ago |  Hi rameshkumaar, Well, it isn't against the law in my country and while many go out to drink, many also drink at home. I will take a drink once in a while but I'm not sure about the doctors who say it's good for your health. I know that people often do and say things when drinking that they would not when sober, so it does affect the mind. The only alcoholic drink that I feel may be good for the body is red wine and just one drink per day. Blessings.

| rameshkumaar57 (1614) | 3 months ago | I had a triple by pass surgery, about 3 years back, at that time I had remarked to the doctor, that I do not smoke, and I drink very rarerly, and even then my drinks were limited to a couple of bottles of beer.
At that time the physician, remarked that if you take two pegs of brandy,three or four times a week, it will be good for your health. Of course a few more doctors have told me that red wine is also good for health.
Thanks for the response. | |

4.  sanjana_aslam (1850) | 3 months ago |  hi ramesh
personally for me, alcohol driniking is not a vice, especially for the health and during business meetings ..
but i guess for some people especially the ones who gets themselves addicted to this drink they lost control and behave in an unaccepted behaviour ..this i dont approve off
cheers

| rameshkumaar57 (1614) | 3 months ago | Yes people start drinking during the business meetings and this becomes a regular habit and they get addicted. I have seen a few of these cases in my company. In fact there was this Brahmin woman co worker of mine, who hated the smell of alcohol, her husband forced her to take some wine during one of the parties, and today, she cannot sleep without taking a couple of pegs of whisky.
That is life. Thanks for the response. | |

| 6. deniblue7 (68) | 3 months ago |  If my country is forbidden to drink alcohol, because the majority religion is Islam. If there are stores that sell it only in permitted for adults and not on free sale. Indeed in the bars there but if there is a raid they will be caught

|
| rameshkumaar57 (1614) | 3 months ago | I never knew that drinking alcohol is forbidden in Indonesia. I have heard that there are some Hindus and Christians there, what about them? does the law apply to the minorities also.? Can you give more information on this. | |

| 7. g_vickie84 (323) | 3 months ago |  Hi Ramesh, you are right in saying that alcohol is good for health if it is taken in small quantities. According to me it is not a vice to drink alcohol if done in small quantities. But the problem is that for some people this small quantity becomes a habit and then a necessity, which is bad.
And as long as the effect is kept out of the mind it is good because in that case, even if it is good for health it may not be good for the health of other people or things around.

|
| rameshkumaar57 (1614) | 3 months ago | People must always drink in moderation, and drinking should be done only in the evening or in the night.I have seen some people drinking as early as 7 A.M. instead of bed coffee, I think these people have bed whisky or brandy.
Thanks for the response. | |

| 8. vopols (150) | 3 months ago |  Wow how was your celebration with your nation father my friend? In my country which is the Philippines alcohol is like water here from breakfast to dinner people keeps on drinking alcohol. Many individuals here are alcoholic.I know that alcohol is good for our health because our body is in need of alcohol. But the problem is people drink no to the point of taking alcohol as advised by the doctor but instead drinking alcohol to the point of abusing.
When babies are born the father invites friends to drink and whats that alcohol, during birthdays people in my country drink alcohol,during break up one uses alcohol as an outlet of depression, when someone dies alcohol again. Alcohol here my friend is really abused. That's why in your situation I am completely amazed.
That's all I can tell you I have to drink so alcohol in here do you want some heheheh.

| vopols (150) | 3 months ago | Yeah if only I can send you some beer I will but it's quiet expensive to send a bottle of brandy or a beer my friend. However if you can come into my place don'y worry I'll treat you with lots of beer stuffs and also also girls hehehe. | |

| 9. biman_s (583) | 3 months ago |  I am Indian too and I think that drinking alcohol is a vice. It doesn't have a good affect on you and when people cannot control their consumption bad things happen to them and also to others, like their family members. Alcohol is a liquid drug and once addicted its very hard to get rid off.
Avoid drinking. Drinking doesn't make oneself COOL, it only makes you a FOOL

| 10. Sweeten (150) | 3 months ago |  In my country it is not against the law to drink, however you do have to be a certain age to drink. I don't think it would be a sin to drink in moderation, but if you drink in excess it could lead to bad things and your health could be affected.

|
| rameshkumaar57 (1614) | 3 months ago | Of course, your culture is entirelly different and your weather conditions also play a vital part in the case of drinking. I know that people in USA, drink in the winter to keep warm.
