Why do we drink alcohol?
Since the dawn of time man has been trying to manipulate how he feels. The human experience is driven by pleasure.
The trap of addictions is simple, the solution is very complex.
Addiction to mood altering drugs which include tobacco and alcohol in most part starts in early adolescence, when by nature humans are excited to try anything that will bring about a high or a feeling of pleasure.
We become trapped when the brain becomes dependent on the feel good response and demands the substance.
The mind, because it is unable to control the physical need, develops an addictive personality in order to live with the addiction. |
