Don't Drink Yourself To Death


If there is one thing i can change about the culture of my people, is the habit of alcohol consumption. Some people like to use festivals or celebrations as an excuse to consume alcohol excessively. While i have no problem with social or occasional drinking, excessive and frequent alcohol consumption is like digging your own grave. 

 Most people who have alcohol-related health problems aren’t alcoholics. They're simply people who have regularly drunk more than the recommended levels for some years. Regularly drinking more than the recommended daily limits risks damaging your health and there's no guaranteed safe level of drinking. The more you drink, the greater your risk of ill-health. 

 And it's certainly not only people who get drunk or binge drink who are at risk. Most people who regularly drink more than the recommendations don't see any harmful effects at first.
Alcohol’s hidden harms usually only emerge after a number of years. And by then, serious health problems can have developed.

 Health effects due to excessive alcohol intake:

  • Liver problems
  • reduced fertility
  • high blood pressure
  • increased risk of various cancers
  • Cardivascular disease like heart attack
Other harmful effects:
  • It creates poverty
  • Road accidents
  • Domestic problems

It is interesting to note that Malaysia, although a small country, is the 10th largest alcohol consumer in the world! (http://www.ias.org.uk/resources/publications/theglobe/globe200103-04/gl200103-04_p18.html). This blog writes an interesting article about alcoholism in Sarawak. 

Alcohol recommendations vary across countries. This is a recommendation by NHS:

  • Men should not regularly drink more than 3 to 4 units of alcohol a day.
  • Women should not regularly drink more than 2 to 3 units of alcohol a day.
  • If you've had a heavy drinking session, avoid alcohol for 48 hours. 
'Regularly' means drinking these amounts every day or most days of the week.

Alcohol was the most harmful drug in the UK, worse than heroin or crack cocaine, in terms of damage to the individual and to other people - David Nutt




Drink responsibly.

Himpunan Kisah Mistik: Rishi Si Pengawal Keselamatan (Last!)

Baca Bahagian 1 dan Bahagian 2 Disclaimer: Semua cerita Himpunan Kisah Mistik ini adalah milik Dammerung & sumber asal cerita-cerita ini adalah daripada Forum Cari Rentetan bagaimana Rishi di pecat bermula sekitar 6 bulan sebelum hari terakhir dia bekerja di rumah puaka itu. Masa ni Rishi cakap dia dah mula slacking off, masuk kerja lambat, pukul 3-4 pagi dah cabut balik tapi walau macam mana malas pun, dia tak pernah lupa tutup suis fuse box.  Apek tua dah beberapa kali bagi amaran terakhir gara-gara ketidak profesionalan Rishi ni, tapi setakat gertak macam tu je lah.  Apa yang membuatkan Rishi rasa takkan kena fired adalah disebabkan boss dia terdesak memerlukan perkhidmatan pengawal keselamatan dan jika dia di berhentikan, tiada siapa akan menggantikan tempatnya, siapa sanggup anyway?  Gaji RM 20 ribu pun belum tentu ada orang nak. Masa ni juga Rishi dah beli motorsikal. Ikutkan dia nak saving je gaji dia yang banyak tu tapi bergaduh dengan drebar van punya pasal ...
