My reflections from the article "From Sip to Slip".

From this article, it showed me that people only believed in what they want to believe in. This article is about alcohol being said to have positive effects on our hearts when taken in small amounts. When alcohol was said to do good, it somehow gave "hope" to those people who loved alcohol but was suppressed due to knowing what alcohol does to our bodies. Although it was stated that it is only beneficial when taken in small amounts, people ignored the "small amounts"-part, they only believed in the part of the sentence they liked, "alcohol is beneficial". There goes the gulping. From "alcohol is good for our hearts when taken in small amounts" to "alcohol is good. Even a little is beneficial, then more must be better!". That became their excuse for alcohol consumption, the actual reason is, they enjoy alcohol. This shows that people regard joy and relaxation as a much important matter than their very own health. It also told me that if somebody really liked drinking alcohol, be it drugs or games, you alone CANNOT stop them. The only person who can stop them are themselves. Even if you manage to suppress that person, he will still take every single chance he gets to get what he wants. You cannot be by him 24/7, can you? Thats the end of my reflection.
