3. Compulsive and uncontrolled consumption of
alcoholic beverages.
A disease or an addictive illness to be precise.
People suffering from alcoholism are called alcoholics.
Such people are considered unfit for the society.
Alcoholics are dependant on alcohol and their health,
social life and personal affairs are affected.
5. Genetic variations in about 51 chromosomes
can be the reason for dependence on alcohol.
At times, social elements often drive an
individual towards alcohol. Excess
advertising of pleasure drinking and that of
benefits received through moderate drinking
cause people to start or continue drinking.
Also, the emotional and psychological
condition of an individual pushes him or her
towards alcohol. Depression, stress, anger etc.
Act as a catalyst.
7. The problems associated with alcohol abuse
clearly outline the need for prevention of
alcoholism.
Luckily, there is something that one can do and
get rid of this harmful habit.
8. Learn to say ‘NO’ if you are surrounded by
alcoholics. The word can do wonders if used
properly.
And no, it is not rude at all. If there’s a
question, then you have every right to present
‘NO’ as the answer.
9. Find a person you can look up to. This will
help you by inspiring you to change.
You can be your own role model and change
things. Draw limits and lines, and live by
them.
If you have a younger brother or sister or
some friend who drinks a lot. Become a role
model for him or her and soon you’ll quit
drinking in order to set a good example.
10. Raising awareness about alcoholism can both
educate and warn you about the ill effects of
alcohol abuse.
One can simply start by sitting down with their
friend(s) and telling them that you care.
You can also join organizations, workshops
and camps related to the same.
11. Sit down and define happiness for yourself.
What is happiness for you? Getting drunk and
loosing it all or staying strong and facing the
challenges?
Try to see beyond the obvious. Happiness
comes to those who look for it.
Happiness doesn’t mean that everything is
perfect, it means that you have decided to look
beyond imperfections.
12. If anyone ever tells you, or your own self tries
to tell you that it’s too late to start
over, DON’T LISTEN.
It’s never too late to set things right. Saying NO
TO ALCOHOL from this very moment will
always be more beneficial than submitting to it.
So, say it out LOUD:
