Dare To Ask Talk And News About Our Differences
I don’t drink today because I saw how my parents behaved when they used alcohol. I think using alcohol in moderation is relying on chemicals to feel a certain way. I think using alcohol excessively is inconsiderate to others. I think drinking alone… well that goes without saying. I’m afraid I don’t have the answer. Alcohol is everywhere and there’s a perception that one must get drunk to celebrate or party. In teenagers, there’s a perception that you must get drunk or drink to be cool and when you get older, if you haven’t acquired a taste for wine, then you might have trouble when dining out with others. Being buzzed is fun, but being thin and not having a beer belly outweights all of that fun and clean up! Why not just tell your kids flat out there are all these perceptions and there is a downside to using it. You might let them taste some when you are explaining this and help them determine if drinking is right for them. Maybe it would be best if you just get them hooked on Mr. Pibb instead. I drank socially in college, I don’t drink anymore and I’m glad because I’m liable to abuse it.
