Because even when we think we're using IT, it's quite the opposite.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWe don't give much thought to the ways in which alcohol gains first a toehold, and then often a complete stranglehold, over our lives. It's an uninvited guest that we unconsciously invite. And it's universally embraced. How's the funny drinking memes all over social media, and the likes they attract? And the smiley photos, glasses in hand. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWe're all in this alcohol worship together - right \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eJust don't talk about the problems it creates.

You just reactivated your addiction, with that one drink. Just like that.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBut alcohol solves nothing. Ever. It's a temporary numbing agent. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe drink isn't your friend. It's your bloody worst enemy.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAnd guess what? You don't need alcohol to be fun - or have fun. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThat is the best kept secret in the world - and I'm here to totally blow its cover!\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBecause if you've got to wait for Happy Hour to feel good - is the rest of your life Unhappy Hour? \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eHappiness coming out of bottles is for babies!\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eUndrinking is Epic!\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eYou get more done, with more money.
