Hi every one some folks will say alcohol is poison don't drink it will destroy you and your family, some will say no its a medicine type of treatment to come out of stress its good when you know you know your limit. Which side you are Are you agree the first if yes tell me why? or You agree the second one tell me how and why?...ha ha ha.. In my question itself hope you can identify I am on which side...alright feel free to share your experience and advice here..now I am going to write some adverse effects of alcohol that i have read from a article...Chronic drinking can lead to dependence and addiction to alcohol and to additional neurological problems. More alcohol causes greater changes in the brain, resulting in intoxication. People who have overused alcohol may stagger, lose their coordination, and slur their speech. They will probably be confused and disoriented. Intoxication can make people very friendly and talkative or very aggressive and angry. When large amounts of alcohol are consumed in a short period of time, alcohol poisoning can result. Alcohol poisoning is very dangerous. Violent vomiting is usually the first symptom, as the body tries to rid itself of the alcohol. Extreme sleepiness, unconsciousness, difficulty breathing, dangerously low blood sugar, seizures, and even death may result. Chronic alcohol use can cause a vitamin deficiency, damage to the frontal lobes of the brain, an overall reduction in brain size and increase in the size of the ventricles. The digestive system of alcoholics is unable to absorb vitamin B1 (thiamine) and deficiency of thiamine can cause various problems effecting the brain. You can improve your life and health by cutting down on alcohol.Now you acn give your points from here, thanks in advance, have a good day, happy lotting.

i think its all in how you use it.. i have been on almost every pain killer known to man but yet a mixed drink will relieve more pain than any pill.. i dont drink much just enough to relax my muscles (my muscles are always really tense due to my pain condition) and i have never been a drinker and so its not a habit and i think its better than taking pain killers that interact with other things and make me sick.. im careful to not mix the wrong things and i make sure i dont drink often but when i have its been more helpful than any other method
