Now that I have been offering my home on Airbnb and I have all sorts of people coming over and staying in my villa, I get to experience something new every time from each one of them. The caretaker who has been in charge of the housekeeping tells me all different types of stories of the guests. I am not around all the time there so I do not get to experience it first hand but then he does share everything with us.
The one most common thing he tell me is, that when people come at the beginning all of them are very nice and they talk also well with him. But as soon as they have alcohol their whole behavior changes. It's a staycation kind of environment so normally people come here for short stays 1 or 2 nights for fun with family and friends, so it's obvious that they are going to drink. But then once they drink then the whole stress begins for me, because after that they are not in their full senses and they handle things roughly.
We all know how alcohol impacts our brain activity, it reduces our overall brain volume, increases the estrogen levels, disrupts the gut health and what not and yet we so much enjoy it. I too consume it occasionally even after being so mindful about my health and knowing how it disrupts my health. Thankfully my son who practices functional medicine has given me some help with this. He has advised me to take N-acetylcysteine - NAC supplementation, as it helps to reduce some some of the harmful effects of alcohol. So this does not mean that I can have it often. It is best to avoid completely. You can also do some research by yourself as to how the NAC supplementation helps with alcohol side effects.
The whole point here is why have something which we cannot handle. I see people drink so regularly and enjoying it as if it's some very good thing. Something that gets us offtrack, does not leave us in our senses, and make us do irrational things, should it not be banned completely from the market. There is a whole big business market when it comes to alcohol, which even includes wines, definitely if it is shut down there would be such a major crash. And I always keep thinking why was this industry promoted in the first place. That also goes for smoking and cigarettes. Why were they not banned in the very initial stages. When we consume alcohol, it's just not that, we also consume so much of other unhealthy foods and drinks with it, like soda, coke, sprite and all.
It's also strange that we celebrate our life important events with these toxic things. There are no answers to these questions, and I believe that it's individual choice what they want for themselves. I see no good in consuming a thing which harms the body and mind and not only that it has full potential of harming people around you also, because when you lose your mind you do not really know what your actions are.
