I am getting a kind of feminazi vibe coming from the tone of your comments, 2, if not a female name can you handle just one drink? I understand helping one to know history, I am not good at history, but the point of the article stands regardless. a little late with this but i just found this site, I ike the article, very important to me as a young guy, only 21, it does not make me want to quit drinking, rather enjoy a drink now and then without getting totally hammered.

Is it really necessary to numb the brain to have fun? Acculturation can also lead to the desire to numb one's brain. Think. Think logically. Is a numbed brain a better way to seek pleasure and enjoyment than having one's faculties intact? Observe your fellow humans. The drinkers tend to congregate while the non-drinkers do the same. Yes, there is intermingling but this is a brief message board post using generalities. I found the non-drinkers to generally be more intelligent, glib, peaceful and more fun to be around. Oh how I feel sorry for those that "just have to have a drink." What a high price to pay in so many ways, especially if addicted to the drug alcohol. Alcohol cause so much misery within society and between people. And how many innocents have been murdered by drunken drivers? How many maimed, crippled for life? Logic and introspection honestly done can make some imbibers realize just how foolish gulping down the grog is if one seeks fun, companionship and pleasure. Cast off the alcohol. Reveal the real you and fin the "real" in others. Perhaps you will become a non-drinker and find life to me more pleasurable with a non-numbed brain and revel in the cost savings of alcohol avoidance. Do not allow corporate America to brainwash you.

Very well written articles, thanks. I’ve always wondered why so many chefs look to be in good shape, and good point about eating only when hungry. Very well written articles, thanks.
