Why should I stop drinking?

Not only does drinking cause body, particularly liver damage. But heavy drinking can cause a physical dependence, which can lead to an emotional dependence as well. Alcohol addiction and withdrawals are not only miserable and scary, but dangerous as well! Alcohol and benzodiazepine withdrawal are both addictions that need a dr. Supervised detox, as these withdrawals can be fatal.

For your own well being, U r the one who suffers physically due to this addiction, prone to health problems, then ur guilt worries u stop it at once, for ur family who like u a lot and are worried for u

Alcohol is a depressant so it can make you depressed and at times suicidal. It also has many negative health effects such as raising the risk of cancer and destroying your liver.

Because there are people who are there for you and drinking does not solve anything, so instead of drinking spend some quality time with people who care for you and try and understand how beautiful your world can be without alcohol.

1. To save money, Drinking alcohol can be a very expensive pursuit or life choice. Depending on how much you drink, how frequently you drink and whether or not you are buying drinks at a bar or for home consumption, you can easily spend hundreds of dollars a month to feed your alcohol habit. 2. Repair Your Relationships, Abusing alcohol can have a devastating effect on relationships, especially the ones you consider the most important. If you are an occasional binge drinker your friends may get wary of the unfiltered behaviors that appear once your inhibition is removed. Or they may get tired of making sure you get home safely, or don’t asphyxiate on your own vomit. They may even get tired of the person you become when you drink if you say and do things that are hurtful. 3. Get Healthy, Alcohol abuse affects your heart, liver, and brain. Over time your heart muscles weaken and sag from the strain that alcohol places on it. A weakened heart cannot adequately pump the blood required to flow to other vital organs in the body; impeded blood flow can lead to varying types of chronic illness in addition to high blood pressure, blood clots, irregular heart beat, and stroke.

Because often times, when we have to ask ourselves this question, we know it's coming from a guilty place.

Because it seriously harms your mental and physical health. Drinking is a short term distraction for long term issues.

Drinking in excess is toxic, its better in moderation. Red wine has some health benefits and dribking can be a social event. But if you're drinking a lot and it's affecting your life negatively then maybe seek some professional advice and support.

Drinking in a excess can lead to all sorts of physical and mental health problems and impact on relationships. Some people can drink in moderation without any ill effects but we tend to live in a culture that glamorises drinking whilst underplaying the large scale damage and cost to the economy. The cost of alcohol abuse to the NHS for example is enormous and cause for grave concern. If you feel you have to drink you need to ask yourself why?

Well besides the obvious reasons (Health, Relationship Issues) the most important reason to me is for your mental health. Usually we drink to mask or feelings or stressful life situations, sure it can help temporarily, but that's just it! Its only temporary relief and not only that it affects so many other areas of your life in a negative way if you drink excessively.
