I am really happy to see that many have mentioned me as one of the reasons why they quit drinking alcohol. Thank you! Please read this quoted post and see the many logical reasons for abstaining from alcohol. Realizing that any amount of alcohol can harm your health is the most important. Even if you are not a regular drinker or a heavy drinker, the low levels of alcohol can still harm you - because it is a potent cancer causing substance. Alcohol has no health benefits. The moment you consume it, your body goes into a frenzy to remove it from within. Even the energy is empty calories that just adds to your fat and poor metabolic health. Alcohol increases your blood pressure and damages your brain from the first sip. Now the reason why I quit drinking alcohol was my patients. More so, their families. It is not easy to declare death in a 21 year old with brain bleeding due to binge drinking... or tell parents of a 19 year old with jaundice so deep and liver failure so intense that they need to pull the plug on him, because his family went bankrupt trying to keep him alive on the ventilator... or see terrifying and never before heard (in my life) bacteria and fungi feast on a 32 year old young dad's lung until even the ventilator gave out and it was lights out for him... or see elderly parents take away the remains of their son to bury him. Life's biggest hurt is when a parent has to bury their child. After that, nothing else matters. There is nothing that can really hurt like that again. Quitting alcohol helped me save money, provided me time to take care of my health, gave me the time that I could spend more with my family (me and wife go to the gym together) and overall, gave me hope that life is not short, but can be long, if you really held on to the steering instead of stepping on the gas. Be. In. Control. PS: Plugging in these two videos of mine for those interested. Please watch and share if you think this will help someone in need.
