Hello, everyone
Welcome to my blog and another wonderful edition of the Hive Learners' featured post. It is no news that alcohol is one of the few things that, if addicted to, can ruin a person's life completely. It takes a lot to actually get over addiction to alcohol. One who is addicted to alcohol is the same as another person who's addicted to hard drugs; every little bit of money that comes their way is channeled towards this addiction of theirs, as they feel they cannot do without it, and without it, they are incomplete.

One thing many people battle with with is their addiction for alcohol, though alcohol can help fight depression and anxiety, it does not change the fact that it is harmful to health. Many people's addiction started after they used to combat depression, and after winning the fight against depression they could put a stop to their alcohol routine.
Alcohol addiction is more dominant in the male population; if there are 100 men on earth, then only 2 out of those 100 don't drink alcohol. I really don't see drinking alcohol occasionally as something bad, but making it an everyday thing or a habit is when it becomes very annoying. That's when you get to realize alcohol smells really bad, and the breath of those who have made it a habit starts to give off a very bad smell. It might not be bad to drink alcohol occasionally, but this drinking of alcohol occasionally does not stop it from having little effect on our health.
It is funny how people see drinking alcohol as a flex. I was at a viewing center the other day, and some guys were busy arguing about how one can drink more than the other. The other guy too was trying to prove himself and how his head is stronger than that of the other, according to them, the one with the strongest head is one guy that wasn't present, but his respect was paid in full. I never knew anything like a strong head existed until that day 😂. The strong head here meant someone who consumes more alcohol and will still be in their right senses. Sometimes we are left wondering why people of old lived longer than us, they really did not engage in things like this.
Youths these days engage in everything; they do drugs, alcohol, and even smoke. One individual takes all the toxic substances and kills their vital organs without even knowing it. In the end, they say someone from the village is after them, but they will never remember how they took everything for fun and called it living their best life. Alcohol has negative effects on our health. Sometimes we might not get the effect immediately, but when it accumulates and strikes, it is always very bad.
Left for me I'd say yes; it will also make men who only spend their money on alcohol, leaving their families to suffer, have little or no choice but to channel the money spent on alcohol to their families. Also making society free from one of the few things that causes our health to deteriorate, with alcohol out of the picture, we will have fewer things left to combat in our fight against things that are harmful to our health.
Thanks for reading my post.
