The Brave Drink

Alcohol is an organic compound from the hydroxyl group that is bound together by a carbon atom. Also refers to ethanol which is found in the alcoholic beverages.

Alcoholic beverages are commonly known as alcohol. Alcohol is categorized into three groups : beers, wines and spirits.

 

Beer

Beer is largely consumed and is the oldest type of alcohol. It is also very popular that it is rated third most consumed drinks after water and tea. It’s mainly derived from cereal grains. Drinking beer at a warmer temperature brings out the flavour while drinking beer at a cooler temperature is believed to be more refreshing.

 

Wine

Wine is made out of fermented grape juice. Its taste is sweet and rich. The older the wine, the better it taste. Some people collect wine, the value of older wine is really expensive.

 

Spirit

Spirit us also known as distilled beverage or liquor. It is a drinkable liquid that contains ethanol that is made from distilled fermented grain, fruit or vegetables. There are no sugar added.

I do not consume alcohol. It is against my religious beliefs and my personal belief. But I have nothing against individuals who drinks. That is a choice that they have made. So be it. For as long as they respect my decision and do not force me into drinking, I’ll be fine.

I dislike it when people use alcohol as an excuse for their behaviour. Drinking alcohol comes responsibility. There has been so many cases where this phrase is being used, “It wasn’t me. It was the alcohol talking.”

Both girls and guys take advantage of this drunken status. Doing outrages things that they wouldn’t normally do. Mostly this drunken actions would lead to regrets, while some might be great. Oh yes, shall we not forget the hangover that occurs the next day.

Drunkards can also be a sore sight. Especially if their girls. Turning red, stripping clothes off, chasing after guys, kissing another girl, some start getting physical. This is an excuse to seek attention from guys. To a certain point it would seem hot and sexy. But once you pass the barrier of disrespecting yourself. It makes you cheap and easy.

Remember, drinking comes with great responsibilities.

Consuming too much alcohol can lead to alcoholism which has it’s effects. Alcohol’s effects is divided into two : short term and long term.

So, drink wisely.
