3 Reasons to Stop Drinking Alcohol
Here’s 3 Reasons to Not Drink
1 - It’s Bad For Your Health!
I find it funny all of the studies that argue that drinking 1 glass of wine, or having 1 drink a day is good for your health. To me, that’s like saying having one cigarette a day is good for your health. Here’s a better idea than having a glass of wine a day in order to stay healthy, how about eating healthy and exercising? It appears to me that we need to justify our addiction to alcohol by saying it’s good for your health if drank in moderation. Guess what… so is water. The reality is this, alcohol is bad for you and it doesn’t take a genius to understand that fact.
2 - It’s Expensive
Another reason to quit is the financial aspect. If you buy one mixed drink at a restaurant you’ll pay about $4. If you eat out 3 times a week you’ve spent $12 on alcohol (assuming you had a drink with each meal of course). Multiply that by 52 weeks in a year and you’re spending $624/year on something that’s not good for your health to begin with. If you drink more than 3 drinks/week, do the math and see how much you’re wasting on this product.
3 - It Can Cause You to Do or Say Stupid Things
I hate to admit it, but yes, I’ve been “drunk” before. As a matter of fact, I used to drink a lot in my early 20’s. When I got “drunk” I thought I was funnier and more attractive to women. The truth of the matter is that I just thought I was funnier and more attractive. The reason I thought this was because the people around me were drunk too! So if I told a joke, they probably thought it was that much funnier because they were drunk, not because the joke was that much funnier. I also found myself waking up the next day thinking, “man, I wish I wouldn’t have said or did that!”
Why Only 3 Reasons?
Well, do you need more? It’s bad for your health, it’s expensive, and it causes you to do and say stupid things. I don’t know why a person would need more reasons than that unless they just wanted to make their list sound “official.” Like a top 5 or top 10 list. I don’t like making a list longer than it needs to be to make my point. If 3 reasons is all I need, than that’s all I’ll use. You may think of more reasons for yourself to stop drinking alcohol, but these are my top 3 why I think people should stop drinking. Focus on taking care of your health and making positive changes in your self and your society. If you have time, read my post “Home is Where the Heart Is,” where I talk a little bit about growing your spirituality… without “spirits.”
