The first time I drank Alcohol, it was genuinely out of curiosity. I see how obsessed so many people are with it, especially youths. They would rather go for alcoholic drinks in parties than snacks and soft drinks. I had to find out what was so special about it, and also, I was so sure of myself to maintain my composure and sanity after drinking it. I wanted to see how it felt like to be 'drunk' and the possible pleasure that would come from it. Well, I found out and satisfied my curiousity but my experience wasn't nice at all.
The next morning, I felt as if I was down with malaria and I wasn't myself at all. I wondered how people actually find pleasure in feeling that way, this substancedoesn't even taste good!. To be honest though, at the time I was drunk, I was just in the moment and felt so free. I think that is why some people abuse it--to get away from their reality for a moment, although they will still have to face it at the end of the day. This alcohol experience of mine left me traumatized for months, I didn't even want to smell it at all. I can't explain why, but that was what happened.
Honestly, I do not see any benefit that alcohol or hard drugs do for people. It just gives people this illusions and feeling that they never get enough of, and that is what makes most people get addicted easily. The fact that something has the power to make all your problems dissapear, even if it for a while, is what makes people get attached to it easily. I don't think the government can do much when it comes to ensuring no one takes above a particular limit, so if it can be banned, why not?
Alcohol and hard drugs has done more harm than good to people, especially youths. So many people are in the hospital going through so much pain and agony, because of what alcohol and hard drugs have done to them. So much more has landed in mental facilities and the rate is even alarming. We'll see random videos online of people running mad and displaying signs of mental illness, what else do we have to blame rather than the hard drugs and alocohol that has become so rampant in the society today.
The damaging effect of alcohol is different from that of hard drugs in my own opinion but they both cause harm to the body system. We have heard of people that dies due to excessive drinking of alcohol. I mean, that's really a silly way to die if you ask me. An hostel mate of mine back then got drunk one night and started saying all his secrets. We tried to shut him up but he threatened to beat us and made us listen anyways. He spoiled his door, his socket and scattered so many things and he couldn't even remember the day after. He met his room looking scattered the next day and wondered what happened until we told him about all his drama.
Honestly, there is nothing appealing and fun about alcohol and if I had the power to ban it, I wouldn't hesistate. We are aware that some red wines are usually medicinal when taken in the right quantity but as much as I would say only red wines should stay, I trust people to abuse it as well. Infact, it's a mission impossible but I do hope peoplee actually get to realize that the after effects of all these alcohols and hard drugs is usually so bad. Abusers end up with failed organs and in worst days, they die. So, what is the point exactly?
