The Illogic of Excessive and Abusive Drinking

man who does not want to hear about his abusive drinkingWith all of the medical and alcohol abuse research that has validated the fact that adverse alcohol effects result from excessive and abusive drinking, I wonder why anyone would choose to drink in a hazardous and irresponsible manner.

Stated more precisely, with the wide array of employment problems, legal issues, relationship difficulties, financial issues, and health problems that are linked to alcoholism and chronic alcohol abuse, why would anyone with common sense want to drink in a hazardous and abusive manner?

Indeed, when alcohol related problems are put under the microscope and analyzed more closely, drinking in an irresponsible and excessive manner makes even less sense and becomes even more illogical.

After reviewing the research literature the point is so central that it needs to be restated: with all of the unhealthy and destructive outcomes that are directly or indirectly correlated with repeated, excessive drinking, why would anyone want to involve himself or herself in alcohol abuse or alcoholism?
