Literally, we mean "getting drunk" rather than "drinking".

For most people, "drinking a glass of wine" has long meant a happy time for friends to laugh and laugh. Based on the different ages of each of us, based on the environment around us when we first drank, we all have all kinds of memories and expectations (sometimes anxiety), which reminds us of a cold beer, a cocktail, gin and tonic water, whisky and beer, a sip of red wine and so on.

Over and over again, in the early drinking process of most people, the expectation of alcohol can always meet the actual needs of drinking.

If every time is just right, we will naturally think that "drinking a glass of wine" is a pleasant experience, which not only meets our own needs, but also does not exceed the norms of religious customs. At the same time, it satisfies our desires, caters to the etiquette of social occasions, and helps us relax, cheer up and realize our various pursuit goals. For example, a 55-year-old Finn, when someone asks him for a drink, can't help but immediately think of the warmth brought by drinking a glass or two of brandy or vodka in cold weather when he was young.

If she is a young woman, she may immediately think of a gorgeous crystal cup filled with champagne, fragrant clothes, intimate friendship and romantic atmosphere, or a young man with jeans, beard and long hair at a rock concert, taking out a bottle of booze from a bag full of bottled wine, with flashing lights and smoke, and everyone screaming and screaming, which is exciting. A member of AA said: "Have a drink" is almost synonymous with eating pizza and drinking beer.

Another 78-year-old widow said that when she was in a nursing home, she often couldn't help but think of the habit of drinking a glass of sherry before going to bed. Although this kind of drinking is very natural in our minds, it is misleading in our current situation, and this is also the way some of us start drinking.

If this is the process of drinking, it is unlikely that we will deteriorate into a drinking problem in the future. However, if we look at the process of drinking fearlessly, we will find that no matter how hard we try, there has never been such a perfect and magical moment in our last few years or months of drinking.

On the contrary, we have repeatedly found that our actual drinking amount is far greater than this, which always leads to some kind of trouble in the end. Maybe we just feel a little guilty about drinking too much in private.

But sometimes it will turn into a fierce quarrel, which will affect your work and even lead to serious diseases, accidents, or legal and financial problems. So, when a suggestion of "drinking" appears, now we try to recall the whole process from the beginning of drinking to the last poor drunkenness and hangover.

General friends invite us to drink, which generally refers to the way of entertainment and a cup or two of tasting.

But if we carefully recall all the details of the pain caused by the last drunkenness, we will not be confused by the long-standing impression of "drinking a glass of wine" in our minds.

Now we can frankly admit that in terms of our real physiological reaction, we are quite sure that a cup of yellow soup means that we will get drunk again sooner or later, which will bring a series of troubles.

Drinking no longer means music and joy to us, but memories of illness and regret. A member of Alcoholics Anonymous once said, "I know that if I go to a bar for a drink now, it will never be the same again, just spend a little time and some money."

This drink will exhaust my bank account, my family, my house, my car, my job, my reason and even my life. This is really too big, too expensive and too risky. "

He remembers the last time he got drunk, not the first time he drank.

The difference between alcoholism and alcoholism;

Alcoholism and alcoholism are completely different concepts.

For example, if you see two people drinking together, they are both drunk. If one is an alcoholic and the other is an alcoholic, although the appearance is exactly the same, the essence is completely different.

Alcoholism-refers to long-term heavy drinking;

Alcoholism-refers to losing control of alcohol!

Long-term heavy drinking is not necessarily an alcoholic; Drinking occasionally does not necessarily mean that you are not an alcoholic.

The root of the problem lies in whether we can control the amount of alcohol. If we can control the amount of alcohol, even if we drink a lot every day, then this is alcoholism, not alcoholism.

One sip of wine won't stop, even once every few months. This is an alcoholic, that is, an alcoholic.

Alcoholism is a habit, and alcoholism is a disease.

There is a misconception that many alcoholics have given up drinking. Therefore, it is completely wrong for people who are addicted to alcohol to stop drinking because of their willpower, perseverance, quality and morality.

Because this is two different things in itself. Alcoholics give up drinking, just changing a habit.

However, alcoholics who give up drinking face a powerful disease.

Remember: Alcoholism is an incurable, progressive and fatal disease.

Many people in the world know that they can't eat certain foods ―― oysters, strawberries, eggs, cucumbers, sugar or anything else ―― once they eat them, they may not feel too uncomfortable, but they may cause serious diseases.

People who are allergic to food may feel inferior. They often complain that the creation is unfair, which makes them lose their ability to enjoy food.

Alcoholics can never drink in moderation, so our goal of abstinence is naturally-never to touch alcohol for life!
