This dose of daily exposure affects the way we think about the social drink. We have become conditioned to the point where we feel that drinking is the only way to have fun. However, that is simply not true. Let me begin by explaining that from age of 19 to the age of 25 I drank and partied every weekend. I felt pride in the fact that in all those years I never missed a single weekend. Drinking was common to my friends and I as indulging in alcohol every weekend is depicted as acceptable social behavior, especially for young adults in our society. Sadly, the negative side effects of continued alcohol consumption are just is commonplace as the frequent use of liquor. For most of us who engage in social drinking, we either choose to ignore the negative side effects of alcohol intake or were simply unaware of the depth of its impact. This results in millions of people and their loved ones being harmful e impacted by socially acceptable drinking.
