....(Who would write about responsible drinking on a page for alcoholics?)
You are indeed doing a great job with the help for gamblers and the provison for assistance to gamblers and addicts should be encouraged at a global scale rather than just an individual effort.
UNFORTUNATELY, people still write about the ills and dangers of tobacco and get more people smoking it. Ever seen "Tobacco smoking is dangerous to your health" and still get loads of people buying and smoking it while reading it off the packs.
Anything that we are doing and such requires a complete attention from us, then it also deserves our best of effort in doing it, for us to use our money into gamble, i believe that we should try as much as possible to ensure complete avoidance of drinking while gambling, it's not about us getting the gambling wrong, but it's something that took away our integrity each time we are drunk gambling and we loose on reputation.
Well, this advice could be good if we are talking about the sanity of the person, so that he can be focused and careful exactly as he would have acted if not under the influence of alcohol or any stimulants. But this is not perfect advice because there are people who will do better when they drink, and as off as that seems, it is real, only that they should be moderate about the drinking. For one, drinking doesn't affect me, I continue to live my life towards the positive side, and one thing again about me is that, when I drink, I get more serious and conscious because I know that drinking could impair my thoughts, so I become extra careful than the usual. I encourage it at times to lift up the spirit if one is dull, this could brighten the decision-making at times, to say the least.
I don't know if you have met some people who do not do anything creative or productive until they are under the influence (not excessively). I don't encourage that but it happens because I know some of them, and I don't expect them to do this in such a way that it will be abused but in a moderate way to keep themselves alert if it is working for them. I hope you get this, and it is not a way to support it but instead of entirely discouraging an act of drinking, just a way to say that what some people think is bad might not entirely be bad for others. Only that we should discover ourselves and know what works for us.
