How often have you heard, “Oh don’t worry, were only allowing beer and wine at this party”? In our modern society, many are mistakenly led to believe there are certain “safe drinks”. Our conditioning in this way of thinking has been thoroughly hammered home by the many years of intense marketing within our culture. Haven’t we all heard, “You only go around once in life”? Well who wouldn’t want to experience all the “gusto” we are entitled to, right?
Although subtle differences in bourbon, whiskey, vodka, beer, wine may have some moderate differences for the tempered drinker, there is no difference for the alcoholic in any of these drinks. Now isn’t that peculiar? Why do we not hear more about this? Why are our children not taught more? Why don’t we demand better for our families?
The addictive component of any “drink” is ethyl alcohol. It is the effects from ethyl alcohol that alcoholics unwittingly seek. It is ethyl alcohol that alcoholics are first romanced by and it is ethyl alcohol that alcoholics pursue with every drink thereafter. In time, it matters not what the container is ethyl alcohol comes in as ethyl alcohol truly becomes the seductive mistress for every alcoholic. When one becomes educated to these facts, one will soon realize ethyl alcohol is in a broad range of products in common use today. A sampling of these products would be items like mouth washes, cold and cough medications, and cleaning items just to name a few. Many people do not realize mouth wash is 26% ethyl alcohol, far more alcohol content than any beer or wine on the market today!
