Weekend-Engagement topics-WEEK 198: To drink alcohol or not, this is my opinion.

In my opinion, I don't think a person needs to drink alcohol to have a good time in a social setting. It is true that alcohol can act as a disinhibitor and make people feel more relaxed and sociable in certain situations, but there are many other ways to enjoy the company of others without resorting to this substance.

The decision to drink alcohol or not in social settings is a personal one. There are a number of factors to consider, including the potential benefits and risks of drinking alcohol. Ultimately, the best decision will depend on our own personal circumstances.

On the other hand, it is important to mention that each person is unique and has different preferences and limits. Some people enjoy drinking alcohol in moderation on certain occasions, while others prefer to abstain completely. The important thing is to respect each individual's decision and not to pressure anyone to consume alcohol if they do not want to.

Alcoholic beverages can help reduce inhibitions, makes people more talkative and outgoing, which can lead to more social interaction as a more relaxed atmosphere is created.

But I only drink alcohol to celebrate special occasions. Drinking alcohol is a common way to mark important events, such as birthdays, weddings and graduations, and corporate events at my company.

These drinks can impair judgment and decision making, such as drunk driving or making a fool of yourself in front of those present at a meeting. More than once in a meeting I have seen people dancing on tables, fighting over a misunderstood comment, making indecent proposals to the opposite sex or getting into car accidents on the way home.

If I consider drinking alcohol I do it responsibly, I set a limit, I drink one alcoholic drink per hour and water between drinks, as much as possible as before to slow down the absorption of alcohol into the bloodstream.

It would be very hypocritical of me to say that I do not own a bar in my house, yes I do, but the alcoholic beverages inside last a long time and are almost always consumed on birthdays, and celebrations such as New Year's Eve.

It is important to recognize that alcohol consumption carries certain risks to people's physical and mental health. Alcohol abuse can lead to addiction problems, liver damage, and in extreme cases, even death. Therefore, it is important to be aware of the limits and know how to control the amount of alcohol consumed in any situation.

In addition, there are many activities and forms of entertainment that do not require the consumption of alcohol to be enjoyed. For example, going out to dinner with friends, playing sports, attending concerts or shows, or simply having a pleasant conversation with someone in a relaxed atmosphere are all valid options for having a good time in company.

There are many healthy and fun alternatives that allow you to enjoy the company of others without resorting to this substance. It is important to learn to enjoy life in a balanced and conscious way, without depending on any kind of substance to feel good.
