Away from religious or culture views, what pleasure you gain from drinking alcohol ? you get addicted to it and bad for the health
Honestly I tried it, smoked weed also for ones , they all got me headache, smelling bad and acting stupid so where is the fun ?
I don't drink much and don't smoke but I've done it all in the past for fun and relaxation.
Its not that you have to use drugs! You decide when you are allowed to choose by Dutch law, at a certain age. Thats it.
If you are a sane brain, you keep it within limits and don't let those pleasures steer your life in a bad way. Individual accountability is key in every individuals life. Dutch law demands it for discrete use of those pleasures. uaekid woow this thread suppose to be in the general forum not here !! chocoholic, help. maybe I'll try the ice cream in the summer :) Chocoholic Well, it's not necessarily addictive, depends on the person. But yes, alcohol can be a terrible thing. I've never really been a big drinker, but then no-one in my family is either. Like it for social occassions, but I never go out and get blasted, which a completely pointless exercise to me. I find it embarrassing when some of my friends make it their mission to get absolutely hammered, and guess who ends up looking after them? That's never fun. I've also been quite concerned about some of my friends, who I consider to drink too much. It's fine in moderation, sometimes I like to get home from work and chill out with a glass of wine. Sadly the reds, which I love, give me the most horrendous headaches :cry: Kalhua over vanilla ice-cream is awsome! uaekid I'm asking cuz one of my friends is a heavy drinker, alcoholic, he just has to drink every day starting at 9pm till he passes away, I keep asking him to degrees the amount he drinks instead he keep buying the more heaver liquor bcz as he claims the old ones doesn't do it for him anymore! the way he doing is not fun at all, we use to go camping allot now I stopped cuz he gets announcing and stupid when he get drunk . Chocoholic Kid, looks like you might have to do an intervention. Sometimes you can't help people until they reach rock bottom, realise they have a problem and want to help themselves - been there, done it! TheChoosen He needs urgend help, professional one! NEVER try to quit drinking without medical/doctors asisstance! He can die!! For the first step see this: Al Anon Family Groups 24 hour hotline Call: 050 6974393 Alcoholics Anonymous Call: 050 4143042 Alcoholics Anonymous, Dubai Call: 3949198 uaekid I'm really trying on a daily basis, but the influent of his drinking buddies is greater than mine, beside he doesn't even wana lesson and keeps on avoiding the conversation, I guess this is phase 1, denial :) Longshanks I think personalities are key in this situation. Alchohol is primarily a recreational drug. When used right it can be a fun thing to do with your friends. Issues arise when its used as a seditive or an escape from reality. In this situation people should not drink as its merely making existing mental problems worse. Now where's my beer ? :-)

Maybe you have to take his drinking buddies aside and tell them not to encourage him!
Yes, sounds like denial and the hlep groups are all very well and good, but you'll have to get him there first. As I said before, he has to realise he has a problem and want to get help. You can't help someone that doesn't want to be helped - at this stage. TheChoosen Kid, you should call them, explain them the situation and ask them to visit him, they´ll do it!! Even they know how to help him and to admitt him in a hospital uaekid they drink too ! what gives ?

LOL yes calling his buddies doesn't sound wise bedro I've passed out a couple of times and it wasn't fun at all. That was my motive to quit since most of the times I get drunk something bad or unwise happens. I didn't feel nice at all leaving my car by the bar and being carried to a friend's car. I dunno why people keep doing this and guess it needs intervention at a certain stage. Red Chief

Ditto :lol: bushra21 there could be an underlying reason to why he is drinking so much -- aside from the negative influence of his 'friends'. finding that out could prove to be more useful than just continuing to tell him to cut back or quit.

Yeh, depression used to drive me to drink.
same here bedro And after a while, drinking doesn't prevent you from feeling down. TheChoosen And then u r trapped....and belive me, it´s a real bad trap!!! Chocoholic I know!

Knight xero_ its all upto the person to be honest. ive had drinking problems at age 20 and almost died of pancreatitis at 20! once he feels the pain of a thousand forks in his stomachs like i did, maybe he will stop. i still drink these days daily but only beer to help me fall asleep. what your friend does is drink hard liqour which i did and totally hammered my liver, increased my blood pressure, and inflamed my pancreas. took only 5 months for all those damages resulting from day and night non-stop drinking. my advice to you is leave your friend make his own decisions, as bringing him to medical help will just increase his alcoholism more, as those ceentre's usually give valium medications which will heighten the feeling of "high" while drinking if he is not ready to give up and start mixing them. Dubai Knight Doing anything to excess is probably going to damage you in some way. Drinking is one that can prove fatal. Wine is not a drink to be taken in excess, it should be enjoyed for the flavours and variety it offers. It is a well know fact that doctors recommend a glass of red wine a day as it is good for the heart... My theory is: If a glass is good for it, then a whole bottle must be excellent! 8) 8) 8) Knight TheChoosen

That sounds like the behaviour of an alcoholic to me. If he had a broken leg or hypothermia you wouldn't hesitate to help him would you? Think of his illness in the same way, except it's more difficult since he probably doesn't want to be healed, and a bit of plaster or warm soup isn't going to fix him.

Hahahah drinking drinking drinking, say it one more time and I say you are a drunk! :lol:
Just enjoy alcohol with discretion and there's nothing wrong with it. Actually in a country where it is mostly illegal, the Western exception should be joyfully used to your finest moments in front of the TV.
Ahhhhhhh thats life...after a hard day of work 8) crewingb Sounds like your friend is suffering from the ALCHOLISIM! It is both combined with a mental obsession and pysical addiction. There is nothing you can do for him until he hits his own rock bottom, only then will he really seek help. Support groups will give you great advise of how to deal with this so seek them out as previous posts have given you numbers, you should have no problem. My brother is 2yrs sober down to AA, but the situation before that got pretty grave before he accepted he was an alcholic. There is one thing admitting it but it is the acceptance that really counts. Best of luck, Crewingb. Nucleus
