alcohol consumption is a really and habit. what happens when someone drinks is , when you drink alcohol for the first time your nervous system detects it as some sort of a danger and what is first does is give a signal to the digestive system and the digestive system tries to remove the harmful substance by vomiting and if vomiting didn't work to recover the nerves which are tired the nervous system signals the brain that you need some sleep ,that's why drunk people tend to vomit and sleep. Drinking directly affects the nervous system and long term alcohol consumption can lead to numerous dieseeases either mental or physical. due to long term alcohol consumption the brain cells get damaged and memory issues can occur, that's why these people tend to recall their past but can't remember things which happened in the present That's because they loose their present memory and the past memories are all they left with. lot of internal organs gets damaged due to alcohol consumption and many health related issues can occur.their social lives also can be affected due to this bad habit.

As individuals we each have different reasons why we want to stop or why we think it is a good idea to carry on doing the things we like or enjoy. There is no one reason why anyone should stop drinking and it all depends on the person in question which in this case is you. You might want to ask yourself what the pros and cons are of drinking or the pros and cons of not drinking are. It is always up to what you think is best and what you think is right for yourself moving forward.

I personally think that moderate drinking is fine for now and then, even though I only drink 3 to 4 times a year because I'm aiming for physical goals. Let me tell you why you should not drink excessively instead. Okay, let me tell you something that you already know. Alcohol slows down your fat-burning rate in your body even to the point it stops completely. Because although we recognize the alcohol as the "fun-party-drink" our body sees alcohol as a mere poison. When you drink, the body will move their focus on removing this poison out of your body, that is why all other department that needs a lot of energy to work properly like the brain will have a temporary drop on its performance resulting in immoral behaviors and thought patterns in your end. Because the body is working hard to remove this poison, even during your sleep where the body suppose to repair your body (Muscles, organs, hormone chemicals to strengthen your immune system) They don't have the time to do so because they are making this poison removal a priority. Resulting you on this so called "Hangover" where you feel like you didn't get enough sleep even when you slept for 10 hours, because technically you didn't sleep that much. And as you may already know, when you are sleep-deprived it affects the whole day. Your moods will jump all over the place, your stress hormone spikes up, resulting in weight gain, weak immune system, high blood pressure and so on. Yes it affects how you interact with people, therefore your relationships Yes, it will affect your productivity and work performance. Yes, it will affect and change everything in your life.

Alcohol gets broken down in your liver, funnily enough, with heavy consumption, your liver becomes overworked which can result in numerous health complications. By simply giving up the alcohol it provides one less thing your body needs to worry about to keep you feeling healthy and fresh. Alcohol is linked to seven different types of cancer including breast cancer and mouth cancer. Cutting alcohol out lowers your risk of getting cancer. Giving up drinking will have a big impact on your liver and should reduce the chances of developing liver disease. As the calories in alcohol can cause you to gain weight, giving up alcohol can also help you to reduce your blood pressure as a result of the weight you can potentially lose. By this point, if you'd previously been drinking six 175ml glasses of wine a week, you would have lost 2880 calories over three weeks.

Drinking has an effect an all aspects of our life, whether we notice or not. From my experience, becoming sober caused me to gain better control of my life and my emotions. I have not had a blackout, hangover, or used alcohol as an excuse for anything since I quit. I own my actions and my decisions. I have clarity around what I want in life, friendships, etc. And I'm better at speaking up now too. No more drowning in alcohol to cope with stuff, using healthy alternatives like actually processing emotions and "why" you need alcohol after a hard day's work or when someone upsets you, and always getting a good night's sleep. Everyone is different but I would highly recommend giving up alcohol if possible.

One way to consider this answer is to look at what are the goals and values you have in your life. Then, consider as objectively as possible, how drinking has impacted your goals or values. For example, if you value meaningful close and honest relationships, consider how the drinking may or may not have impacted your relationship with others. It may also be helpful to consider if the drinking is used as tool to distance or distract from emotions that are painful, in which case you may want to consider whether addressing and welcoming those emotions may also help you either achieve your goals or preserve and nourish your values. Often, if you can be in a place where your behavior, are aligned with your goals and values in a meaningful way, you might reach the answer on your own.

Drinking is not necessarily a bad thing. If it is interfering with the good things in your life perhaps that is a signal that something needs to be changed, which could include why you are drinking or how much you are drinking. For instance, if your health is suffering that is a good reason to stop drinking. If it is interfering with your personal relationship that also may be another reason why you could stop drinking. There are plenty reasons to stop drinking and each individual has their own reasons. Only you can tell what your reason to stop drinking may be.

While recreational drinking can be alright in moderation, once we abuse the activity in an effort to cope with our own struggles, it can become harmful to our mind and body. For those with addiction problems, becoming sober is a great path towards healing. If you are relying on alcohol in an unhealthy way, it would be very beneficial to stop drinking and perhaps lean on friends/family/therapists for emotional support and guidance. Once you find a way to address the triggers or underlying issues that are causing you to turn to drinking, you can use the proper coping strategies to heal in a healthy way.

Man I could write a whole book about this as it relates to me. I don't want someone to read this and think that they should stop drinking. I have known that I need to abstain from drinking for probably about 13 years. I have been drinking for just a little more than that time. I could bore everyone with my drink-a-thon and then drug-a-thon, but really what I have found is that it is not about why should I stop drinking it is more why should I want to better my life? Drinking made me a person that lost everything from tangible things to the intangible things that I took so long to gain. I realized this too late to save my old relationship as she was the one that really made me look in the mirror and yet still used after. I finally decided to stop playing victim and take control of my life because drinking was helping me play victim and ultimately lose control of my life. I have had many more days of sobriety than not over the last five years however when times of drinking occur I lose everything that I gained from the previous period of sobriety. Concisely, drinking does not serve more rewards than risk for me at this point in my life, and because of that the decision was ultimately made for me and haven't had a desire to drink since. That doesn't mean I don't think about it from time to time, but it does not control me like it once did.

There are many reasons to stop drinking. For me, I realized whenever I was getting drunk, I was making a fool of myself. When I woke up the next morning, I would feel good because everything was off my chest, but everyone around me was walking on eggshells, and I wasn't making lasting friendships. Drunk me loved attention and was selfish and didn't take other people into consideration. I realized that this was not the person I wanted to be known for being. I wanted to be a good friend, and a good role model. In addition, I realized, sometimes, I had to drink to feel like myself, and when I was completely sober, I felt in complete. I knew that I either had to cut down my alcohol intake or I would become dependent. The alc was also making me gain weight, which made me feel even worse about myself. Think about how your can become the person you want to be and the small steps you can take to become closer to that person, rather than thnking you will never be perfect and then drinking to escape reality.

To better your health & family life. Drinking effects you in many ways, you will improve your quality of life. It may be hard but I know that you can strive. You will be able to make the choice to stop drinking, sometimes it gets a little too much and you think a drink will help, but it may just make things worse in the long run. Sometimes it’s hard but I know it will all get better soon. I’ve seen drinking personally effect people, but I know it will all be okay. I think everything will be okay. Just hold on

If I stop drinking I will sleep better. And by stopping I'll force myself to find alternate solutions for being tired or having low energy. I have to remember that drinking doesn't really offer anything valuable. Sleeping offers value. When I drink I never sleep well. Also by not relying on drinking as my go to pick me up I'll have to face my physical discomforts as well as my uncomfortable thoughts and feelings and depend on natural remedies like breathing, meditating and taking walks. I have to remember that it's ok to feel blah. Just roll with it, and get a good nights sleep and the next day I should be good!

First thing to quit drinking is that you will save so much money. Have you ever thought how much money you spend when you go out drinking? It adds up on your monthly income. Another reason to quit drinking is that you will have more energy. The impact heavy drinking has on you for the rest of the day and week takes a lot of energy. If you can wake up on time and be in control of your body, you will find your energy begins to sky rocket as it's allowed to function how it should. Another reason is that you will not feel guilty anymore.

What are some of the benefits that you feel like would come from stopping drinking? Is there any reason why you are considering reasons to stop drinking? One of the biggest reasons may be because you want to? If that is the case, then it could be worth it to look at why you want to quit drinking and the benefits that it has for you! Sometimes, making a pros/cons list can help brainstorm solutions to questions posed such as this one. Every individual has their own reasons for quitting drinking, however, the most important reasons are going to be your own.

Drinking numbs emotions and makes us not aware of how it inhibites us. A lot of times excessive drinking is like a band aid on a flesh wound. Not really solving the problems or things stressing you out. If you use drinking to feel happy maybe evaluate why you need to have a drink to feel happier. It also may affect your health, and cause to have more health problems and die earlier than those who don't drink or only have one on occasion. Plus on a mental scale alcohol is a downer causing things like depression and anxiety to pop back up. Physically it can cause weight gain and health issues like I mentioned before. It can cause quicker aging, problems with sleeping, issues with mental health and more. While one glass of something like red wine may be healthy , anything in excess should be avoided.

Because it can benefit your mental health, physical health, overall well being, skin. You will have much more energy to do actual work than worrying about having analgesics for hangovers. While drinking may seem like a great temporary escape from everyday problems, it actually causes more problems in the long run. You will also end up saving more money as if you calculate the total money you wasted on alcohol, you’ll actually realise how you could’ve used it for something so much better. Not to mention, the health complications it causes include a much increased risk for colon cancer, a leaky intestine.

I think that if you are at a point where you are thinking about stopping, there is usually a reason that you are thinking about that. For me, my reason was there was a time when I was drinking and my family noticed and were being hurt because I was being very belligerent, and they were concerned for my health. I finally agreed that I had a problem when I woke up one morning and learned that I had ruined a close friendship of mine. While I was intoxicated, I had said very hurtful things, and done things that I sincerely regret. For me, that is why I stopped drinking, and I hope that this story shows that your answer may be different, but eventually drinking gets to a point where you hurt the people around you, and then yourself.
