It is true that alcohol is often used to numb senses and this way causes people to be less present in a situation but it can be used for the exact opposite. Alcohol can give us the ability to be more present by allowing us to be ourselves more openly and genuinely. Feeling numb and bland while sober is a quite common thing to some people. Drinking a suitable amount of alcohol can help to build up some emotion and real presence. Very good article but there was one thing bugging me – the treating of alcohol.

My only question would be for the men out there how can we encourage you, our partners to be more ever present in their personal lives and relationships when they are so closed off and trained to be that way? By no means is it easy or do we want to change the men we fell in love with but being present can make relationships change for the better in a more open and accepting environment for both people.
