First to first, what is alcoholism? Alcoholism is the inability to control or ignore a strong craving for alcohol. As in Asia, we consume less alcohol than in the West. There are many causes and effects of alcoholism:
Causes
1. To release tension. When they tend to be in the office and are facing with tonnes of work, people will feel stress out and try to find a way to ease the burden in their heads. So, alcohol is the answer for them as it will make them temporarily forget all the flaws that they have in minds.
2. Peer pressure. Usually, we are easily affected by our friends in our own movements. When our friends do the things that we do not even use to, we will tend to follow the footsteps eventhough it is bad. So, we have to choose the right friends to lead us to a right pathway in life.
3. To warm their bodies. People who live in the West or in a cool climate countries consume more alcohol as this will higher the temperature in their bodies to make them feel warm and cosy.
4. Less religion education. As for Muslims, alcohol is strictly restricted and against Islam. It is a big sin for those (Muslims) who consume it. So, we should be taught since we were young to prevent this illegal drink.
5. Urbanization. Usually it happens to the dwellers who live in the metropolitan or big cities. For them, alcohol is a modern way of life and looks classy for some. Uh-oh, that's such a narrow-minded thinking in our opinion.
Of course, if there are causes, there must be effects. So, here are the effects:
Effects
1. Health problems. This comes first in our list. As we all know, alcohol gives many health problems for those who consume it. For instance, alcohol causes fatigue, paralysis of the muscles surrounding the eyes and short-term memory loss. It can also cause more life-threatening problems include stroke, high-blood pressure and heart failure to name a few. Thus, these give millions of reasons why we should stay away from this mother-of-every-disease drink!
2. Loss of control. A person who consumes alcohol in a big dose, will get drunk easily. They may act irresponsibly while under the influence. They might also put themselves and others in danger by driving or operating machinery while drinking.
3. Social problems. They do not know what they do and forget the things that they have done. We can say that many crimes that happen are from those who consume alcohol. Vandalisme, random sex, rape or even murder are of the big crimes that they dare to commit.
4. Wasting of money. Same goes with cigarettes, but our point here is alcohol. But it's the same - 2 damn rubbish things - that cost you on buying unnecessary stupid things. Brandy, margarita, whisky, and vodka do cost you a lot sum of money (if you buy the expensive ones, but if it's not that expensive, it does cause to get the money out of your wallet still!).
5. Children's future. Studies show that some individuals are more likely to experience alcoholism at some point in their lives than others. Often the children of alcohlics will have a higher risk of one day becoming an alcoholic themselves. So, this is absolutely not good for our children's future as we cultivate and inculcate them with such bad attitudes.
So, these are of the causes and effects that we can list. It is not good for us in many aspects and all we can do is to prevent it. Enjoy the article and do wait for our next post! ;p
