As I discuss in my book, life without alcohol is wonderful! I can't imagine being an alcoholic. I have watched friends throughout the years drink booze and wonder how in the world they could have ever gotten interested in guzzling poison! Would anyone consciously choose such a behavior? Surprisingly, No! It was put upon them early in childhood and in their teenage years and the alcohol was somehow linked to associations of pleasure that stuck with them the rest of their lives. Throughout my life, I have tried to be objective about trying and especially continuing, toxic behaviors. Like with drinks, I had a martini once and I couldn't believe how ghastly it was. And people drink martinis every day? Something is missing here. What's missing is an intelligent thought. I also tried a scotch whiskey once. It burned all the way down my esophagus. I can't imagine burning your digestive tract in this manner on a daily basis. So why is alcohol still with us? Someone had an intelligent thought in the early nineteen hundreds and tried to get rid of it, but the dumb people made their own, and the laws prohibiting alcohol were rescinded. At least for one moment in history, people tried to do something intelligent and right, with prohibition. Alcohol is a carcinogen. People who drink a lot get cancer more. If we got rid of alcohol, cigarettes, and obesity, cancer would become a disease of the past. It wouldn't disappear completely, but it would no longer be our number two killer. Number two! This is certainly a great cause for concern. As long as celebrities keep drinking though, like Paris Hilton and Lindsay Lohan, the glamour of guzzling poison will continue.
