Best Answer To Other Society Culture Question
The most negative effect is that alcohol is numbing, reducing the awareness and ones will power. The person who drinks doesn't want to confront life and not oneself and not others. Drinking reduces ones ability to feel responsible and also to relate and respond to what shows up in ones life, so reducing the possibility to connect on a deeper level with others. In the same way it is numbing, it is stimulating a kind of good feeling within this numbness and that makes the drinker addicted. Drinking creates a state of pseudo happiness, the drinker can relax and nothing really matters. Any thought that this might not be the right thing to do and that one is destroying oneself in this way, vanishes in a cloud of uncertainty. Opportunities are not seen, life energy is wasted, and there is no growing and no interest to change anything. If there is anger accumulated, then this might come out in an uncontrolled way as violence when drunken. It is not possible to talk in a reasonable way with a drinker, he might adapt himself to situations and behave kindly, but in the next moment he might react violently. With a drinker one never knows what will happen in the next moment... Plenty of negative effects from drinking, right? Then one might make the decision to stop it right away, confronting life and oneself, starting a new life. It is a challenge, for sure not easy, but worth the trouble and effort! BeiYin

Answer 1Well, um, I ruined many perfectly good relationships. Caused many people who loved me to worry, and later argue. Spent way too much money - and spent way too much time, doing something that was self-destructive - and so I'm catching up in life all those things I should have done by now....
Answer 2I come from a family that never used alcohol, even to cook with. We tasted it, but didn't like it... But I have read an article (online) that goes into varios aspects of the problems caused by alcoholism: "Alcohol Misuse--A Social Catastrophe" - "Alcohol Misuse Health" /e/20051008/article_
Answer 3Nope, it has positively affected my life. I drink one or two glasses of red wine daily, improves my health [ medical fact ] and my mood and enjoyment of meal. "All things in moderation" Note to inky-pinkie, I have drunk wine with main meal for 30 yrs., is that 'addiction' ? If so I am also 'addicted' to regular exercise and a healthy diet ! I repeat, a glass of wine is healthy, much more so than coffee or 'pop' , lighten up guys !

Answer 5What is felt as positive in the beginning 'drinking in moderation', will become a habit and will weaken the ability to distinguish, then slowly becoming an addiction... InkyPinkie
Answer 6If one can see clearly how one's own drinking and the resultant behavior, has negatively affected one's own life and that of others, then it might be a motive to stay off the booze. But a problem drinker usually will not stop because of pressure from other people, neither of what damage they might be causing other people. A problem drinker is in pain, and the drink gives a relief from that pain. To see one's own pain, to feel it deeply and see the harm one is causing to oneself is the way to get out. Take a long hard look in the mirror. Then one might start to turn, to realize that you are worth more and then one's love will start to emerge and one will start to love oneself. When you come to this point, you will ready to quit. I think why AA is so successful, is because they have the 12 steps. Yet, the people who succeed in AA and are able to put drinking behind them and not relapse are those who do the steps in a serious way. Meaning those who want to get honest about their reality, about themselves and are open to see the harm they've caused others because of their 'unconcisous' behavior. This 'unconscious' behavior is not unique to alcoholics, all people are doing it, but with the heaviness of being in pain from the alcoholism, alcoholics have a unique opportunity to find out about it. It's like the more pain one has, the more likely one will come to the point to surrender and start to heal. I'm a recovered alcoholic, so I can tell you that my behavior as a drinker was negatively affecting my life and the life of others, my family, friends, work, etc. But to tell you this, doesn't help you. You have to see this truth with your own eyes. I was not able to see the negative effects while I was drinking and even for many months afterwards. Alcohol causes a sort of brain fog, and it takes around 3 months for this to clear out. Then working the steps, one digs into it deeper, and finds out more about oneself, etc. So I highly recommend that any alcoholic or drug addict does the steps or something similar such as Katie Byron's the work, and/or the course in miracles. Considering Therapy (help to see yourself more clear), and self-help books are also good things to read at this time. AA meetings can also help, because in the stories of others, you might be able to see yourself and one's own folly. Betsy
