Alcohol


About 60% of all male prisoners and 40% of all female prisoners had been under the influence of drink in a survey recently conducted…and 66% of all government earnings from alcohol sale go into the medical care of those diseased by alcohol. This figure does not include the amount spent on the police to maintain law and order and prisons to punish alcohol offenders. The government does not really make much out of alcohol taxes anymore. The affect it has on your health, pocket and moral equilibrium is devastating. The time wasted on drinking can be utilised in creative activities, which both can be very entertaining and productive.

1. A Survey by The institute of alcoholic studies shows that 70% all crimes are alcohol related.
2. 39% of domestic violence cases involve alcohol.
3. In more than a million violent attacks the aggressors were believed to be drunk.
4. More divorces result from drinking than any other cause.
5. 60% – 70% of homicides are connected to alcohol.
Where crime is concerned the issues are inexhaustible, infact it’s the same where health is concerned.
Mouth and orophangus, oesophagus , liver, laryngeal and breast cancer, altogether 5 types of cancers are caused by alcohol. Unipolar depressitive disorder,
Epilepsy and anterograde amnesia are only a few mental disorders causes by alcohol.
Hypertensive heart disease, Ischaemic heart disease, cardiac arrhythmias, oesophageal stroke, Ischaemic or haemorrhagic varices are some of the cardiovascular disorders caused by alcohol. I can go on to other diseases and problems but I’ll stop here.
Subsitute alcohol with music and poetry, life will become thrice more beautiful.
