Thank you Jeffrey Morgenthaler, to host this time another mxmo - and this time, we are posting about repeal day.

It is not only the hazard to get into alcoholism which makes alcohol consumption dangerous. Besides of the fact, that already small amounts of ethanol in the blood leads to to misjudgment (think about drinking and driving) it can also cause following problems:

1. •Alcohol can destroy brain cells, even could leave to brain damage.
   

2. •Alcohol greatly disturbs the structure and function of the central nervous system, hindering the ability to retrieve, consolidate and process information.
   

3. •Moderate consumption of alcohol can affect cognitive abilities while large amounts interfere with the oxygen supply of the brain causing a blackout when totally drunk.
   

4. •Alcohol addiction may also inflame the mouth, esophagus and stomach, and could cause cancer in these areas, especially in drinkers who also smoke.
   

5. •Splurge drinking may produce irregular heartbeats and slow circulation, be the ground for malnutrition and water retention.
   

6. •It can also lead to skin and pancreatic disorders, weaken the bones and muscles, thus decreasing immunity!
   

Besides of that there are many other health risks which are connected with alcohol.

So could we agree, that the basic idea to forbid alcohol, was not the worst one...?

The problem was, that the people were not reasonable (and made love instead of drinking), but started to moonshine and smuggling! The organized crime was really taking off in these days, because they benefit of the new black market for alcohol.

And after all, the government cut the rights of the people, which was also not good - however this happens again with the smoking laws (all over the world). Or the the ban of THC in the form of hashish or marihuana (which is proven more harmless than alcohol).

It seems, that alcohol has just a great lobby.

I am bartender (bar manager - call me, like you wish) and I am dealing with alcohol. And it is not bad at all. But even with great responsibility, I experience really difficult situation. Reasonable guests, whose you normally respect and value, become insulting, aggressive, offensive and violent.

A lot of people also doesn’t know where there boundaries are!

This side of my job, I really don’t value as challenge - it is just annoying and disturbing! At last I handled every difficult situation until now, but at the end of the day I am exhausted and I feel, as the people consumed my energy! And  at least 90% of the most difficult situations have something to do with over-consumption of alcohol.

I don’t want to over-do this topic. However, we should be all very clear, that alcohol is basically bar stuff. A poison!

Help to limit the repercussions!

Please also use the repeal day, to think about the casualties of alcohol and help to prevent!
