How Does Alcohol Affect the Brain?

Sometimes, I feel like drinking or smoking, but I do not do it.
I cannot escape my problems with it or solve them.
Dull my senses or temporarily escape? Maybe.
But when I get sober, the problems are even worse.
So, what is the point? Since all this drinking and drug stuff affects my brain and mind in over all undesirable ways, why do it? All checks and balances of reality considered, death is always better than being impaired in those way when really thought about with seriousness.
When alcohol is consumed, it does not even taste good, when you initially smoke, you usually cough in undesirable ways.
So, why do it? Look what they have to go through to make it look good in movies, right down to keeping the teeth of the actor smoking still looking unstained after they light up a cigarette or drink and what do you think they really meant by the phrase "smoke and mirrors" anyhow? Let us skip to this: If Jim Morrison and James Dean were so wonderfully fun and great to emulate in smoking and drinking, look how they died.
Car crash on a highway, and sobering up from a heroin overdose in a bath tub, filled with water.
Look all publicity photos, and biographies of how cool they were are filled with "smoke and mirrors" daring "handsome, great and good looking stuff", but how they die speaks volumes to their how, bad, empty and addiction filled their real personal lives were.
So, sometimes, like anyone, I feel like drinking, smoking or something bad, but I only act on the good even if it is hard to act on it at the time, because I would rather benefit than suffer ultimately.
Yes, I look at things that rationally.
For, everything is a choice.
From drinking water to drinking a tall glass bottle of malt liquor, everything is a choice.
Drunk is a choice, sober is a choice.
Life is an individual proposition, and we all make the choice to take an action beneficial or harmful.
The devil can tempt, God can say "please benefit yourself", but we ultimately make the choice for ourselves whether it is strong temptation or weak temptation.
What do you think the blind poet John Milton really meant by "The mind is a heaven or a hell that we make of it.
" Do you want to say, "Nothing"? Well, our choice is everything, surprise.
I hate to end on that harsh note in this article filled with "cynical Mark Twain humor", but surprise, our choice is everything.
It is up to you.
