We all know that drinking is harmful for health but most of us ignore it. According to me its fine if we drink alcohol moderately, casually or during various occasion. Addictive drinking is the worst because you are literally going to be a dead man in a few years or even days. Impacts : Liver Syrosis, Arrhythmias, irregular heart beat etc. All these conditions are something which you would never want happening to you.
Some say it's healthy to drink a glass of alcohol once in a while, (which I believe is scientifically proven?). But the fact is that alcohol impacts your liver and the more (and more regularly) you drink, the worse the effects can be.
I see too many people get wasted after a night out, completely out of this world, and that every week. Just to feel sick the next day, shows how bad it is for your body/health.
I don't drink, I don't even like it. But I guess a lot of people continue drinking because 1. they enjoy it 2. it's like a 'normal' thing to do, just like drinking coffee. People often look strange at me for not drinking alcohol, because 'everyone at my age drinks alcohol'. I just don't see any reason why I should drink though, so I'll keep at it =)
