Many of my friends ask me how to control their “love” for alcohol.  In this stressful society of ours, it is just natural that at the end of the day, people just want a drink or two to take their “troubles” away or even get more drunk to forget their troubles.  I guess Alcohol is a good way to get out because it is relatively affordable as compared to cigarettes and with so many Happy Hours and one for ones.  Especially for the ladies, every Wednesday is a ladies night to get drunk.

Well I must say up to a certain stage, normal human beings will just stop drinking so much, because when you wake up , your problems are still there and what is worse is that your head is spinning and you suffer a crazy hangover which is terrible.  For me, it was easy when I realise how fattening drinking is.  The extra waste calories it the last that I want to have as it is detrimental to my other love for sports.  Sport creates endorphin which equally keeps me happy but I will need to do that to the extreme.  But I prefer that to piling the extra cals and making me look old dry and ugly.  For ladies, just be conscious that alcohol dries up your skin and makes you look times older.  No amount of facials or treatment essences can cure this.

I found this Health promotion board article exceptionally good:

So get out there and try a new sport or take on a new hobby rather than splurge on alcohol.

Everything in moderation is good.
