More Than "Just Alcoholic Drinks" - Highness & Drunkenness
It's a simple truth when I say "Taking alcohol is same as taking drugs, they just have different forms". I want to believe many especially those producing these things would agree with me on this. It's like when we have different kinds of foods that gives a particular class of food, like bread and rice giving carbohydrates but can be eaten in different ways.
Drugs are mostly in powdered or substance form while alcohol are in liquid form. If we agree both are same, they can cause the consumer to be high or drunk, then we know both are supposed to be treated same way whether one is against or for it.

I came across a young man who was like "I'll never do drugs in my life, may God forbid" and I asked him what about his smoking and alcohol drinking, how different are they from drugs? He was quiet for sometime and was like "Ahhh, it's like I'm doing drugs like this o" 😂 we laughed over it and he went his way still drawing smokes or whatever it is from the cigar stick he had in his hands.
It's really funny how cigarettes and alcohol producers state it so clear that "Partakers are liable to die young" on their products but people still use them regardless and in the end, they cause problems for their families who try to keep them alive spending so much money.
This part of partaking in taking drugs or being addicted to alcohol is really scary to me. How do one still go ahead to do what they are so sure would harm their health in the end? Well, they say it is the power of addiction. I've seen only a few success stories in getting rid of addiction of any kind.
For me, I'm of the view that one should abstain from whatever it is that messes up with the human brain... Alcohol and drugs are some of them and the ones used mostly. I would make alcohol drinks a banned commodity if I had the power to because they are different products with same effects on their consumers.
It's surprising that the Government lets people get addicted to alcohol drinks openly while people are doing same with drugs in hiding. I believe putting a strong ban to the two will save a lot of our youths from engaging in this act through peer pressure.
I heard something funny from one of their consumers some time ago, he said and I quote "I don't smoke for fun, it's because the weather is cold" and another said he drinks to forget his sorrows even if it's for a brief moment. What I'm not clear is that, these reasons, can't they be sorted out by other means? Does it have to be by drinking alcohol or doing hard drugs?
I'll still be on my stand that it's best to put a ban on them. I know very well that there are people who know their limit and are very cautious on how they take alcohol but we can't ignore the fact that there are more people who abuse these availability and we know how bad it tells on citizens and then, on the society at large.
Putting a ban to these things will not only save lives we lose to different organs illness, we would get people finding better means to sort their problems and be more sociable as I've seen that being addicted could withdraw you from your peers or from associating with people.
We would have more sane people, more savers and more responsible citizens if these things are put to ban, limiting the partakers of it. This is just my thought though and I know even in a ban, addicts could do anything to still keep the flow with them... Too bad.

My lecturer spoken. Professor Merit of the drugs and alcohol department. Lol. Only if you saw how I sat and concentrated listening to your course ma.
You are right. Smokers, drunkards, drug addict are all birds of same feather. It’s better not to get into it all. Than think there should be a way out when you get into it.
Lol that's a very funny way to start your comment 😂 shey I've turn lecturer now.
I wish more people will think that way but reality is different.
See me dancing 💃. Hehe.
Lol dance go that side please 😂
Drinking to forget your sorrows for very few hours might sound convincing but same person is putting his liver and kidney in danger.
Drinking of alcohol should be banned but alcohol shouldn't be banned generally because many of drugs and products are preserved by adding a minute portion of alcohol to them. It also has many other medical benefits.
You're right about that, there are a lot more benefits of drugs that we need them for. I think there should be a way to use them without making it available for just anyone to use.
Yeah, I think restricting it to be available for medical use only will do some fair justice.
Yeah, I think same
It should.
I won't really say that it's the same thing, taking drugs and drinking alcohol.
Taking drugs is even more harmful, but taking alcohol is not has harmful.
And as you have said, abstinence is the only 100% security.
Nice write up
Your thought though
But it's fine.
It's funny how it looks like you'd get to forget your sorrows after drinking .
But then after the whole thing,you still come back to the reality of things when your eyes are clear.
But personally,I wouldn't support the motion of banning alcohol in the country because it has got it's own good part too aside drinking.
People use it in preserving cakes,e.t.c.
Lol it's really funny and they still won't let it be.
I bet there's a way they could ban to make it to limit the easy access to it, those using it for something good can have some authorize access to it given by Government 🤔
