7 bad reasons for a woman to drink

Drinking by women become a part of our culture and no longer considered unacceptable sin as in the early XX century, when alcohol was dominated by men. Philosopher Otto Weininger in his "Sex and Character" even claimed that alcohol and cigars - a tertiary male sexual characteristics (if interested, for women, it also refers to such a feature - needlework). A wide selection of alcoholic beverages allows you to choose what your heart desires. In this case, the collective unconscious has given rise to so many excuses desire to drink, it starts to bother. There is nothing wrong, if from time to time you drink alcohol in reasonable quantities, there is no shame in the fact that sometimes go too far with it. But if the girl is too often uses a "convenient" explanation for why she was drinking, it is an alarming signal, and the first step to this disease - female alcoholism. It is desirable to identify and stop dead in its tracks.

Stress

Stress in the modern world - it is a heavy load that falls on almost everyone. On women very often it is even a double burden: work, home, family - everything takes time and effort. Not surprisingly, the stress builds up, and take it no, because all the free time eat these same responsibilities. Many in this situation decide to relax with the help of alcohol. It is a matter of minutes: a glass of wine or bottle of beer, and that life does not seem so difficult and annoying. Besides, what's wrong with all the one-cup? That such "small steps" alcoholism and chosen to even the most persistent of us. In fact, even if the stress drown tiny doses of alcohol, it will only harm by it. After all the stress will not disappear, it only masked for a time, and then will need more and more alcohol to feel its presence. So it is necessary to treat the disease, and not to remove the symptoms. Relaxation, yoga, sports, new experience - ways to get rid of stress a great multitude, and they are all much better than alcohol. Just find one that is perfect for you. If the time to search is not enough, you must first go through a course on time management - so you can accurately carve out an extra couple of hours a week for yourself.

Bridget Jones and Company

World culture to replicate the image of a strong and independent girl who lives alone, making a career, cultivate, and in the evenings in front of the TV to drink a bottle of red wine. Get at least the well-known Bridget Jones - if you read it carefully lists drunk, then grabbed his head. It can be a whole bottle of wine for the evening, and six cans of beer or half a dozen strong cocktails. In this case, although she tries to drink less, but it looks so elegant and nice overall alcoholic coquetry that I want to try this way of itself. Do not.

Let the "media" and bohemian girls finish with alcohol, do not get drunk and do not get sick, but we're living in the real world.

Drink only in order to drink - so-so idea. Chip for self underscore can think of and other. Try, for example, to write poems or stories, draw or seals to gather a collection of something (not just empty bottles!).

Relationship problems

Any relationship - like a minefield. Even when the whole everything is good, troubles may unsettle. And if something goes wrong, do not quit or you just threw the man, but also did something worse, the bottom of the glass with alcohol helps to drown out the pain. Indeed jamming, no kidding. Because of your problem will not some kind of y-chromosome carrier that broke your heart, and much more unpleasant green serpent. There are many ways to cope with the fact that you threw - and many of them can bring such a relief that even then say thank you for the opportunity to leave with the man who would bring only trouble. Treat the heart as soon as possible! And then, finally parting even with the memory of this man, raise a glass in honor of recovery - but only one, and if you really want.

The crisis despair

Depression is much more deeply rooted and destructive action than regular stress. When Life lost all the colors happen any trouble, or she just comes to a standstill on its way, alcohol is often a companion in this bleak and hopeless way, making it even more dark and gloomy. It is a circle from which there is no escape: alcohol makes it possible to forget about the existence of gravity, but as soon as his action is over, as the world around seems even nastier.

If you do happen something bad, then ask for help not to the bottle and to friends or professionals - depending on the degree of severity of the problem. Cope alone with events overwhelm you really hard, so it is not necessary to burden all on their own shoulders.

Doping introvert

Shy girl in big companies often use alcohol to be liberated, and feel more relaxed and able. Gradually it can become a habit, and it is very bad, as an alternative to this method of communication will be developed. There are other techniques that help to feel at ease in unfamiliar company or among a large number of people. Their disadvantage: they require you effort and practice, as well as almost all the worthwhile things in the world. Their advantage: they will stay with you forever and will not destroy your liver.

To warm

Alcohol is often used to keep warm in cold weather. Indeed, it has a warming effect, so the spirits and are called "firewater." Under the influence of alcohol vessels dilate, and the body feels warm.

However, this effect will be useful only if you are cold and want to warm up quickly, hitting into a warm room, or wrapped in a blanket.

If you want to warm up before going to a cool place, the alcohol will only cause harm. Warming effect ends very quickly, and the chance is great that you freeze. But even if you do not feel physically cold, the body will still feel it, which means you can easily supercooled, catch a cold and get sick. In addition, frequent use of the "sugreva" reduce your natural resistance to the cold, and you will not be able to go out in the cold street without a sip or two.

"All fled - and I ran"

The peculiarity of our Russian mentality (in the majority) is force-infusion of alcohol in the company, even in those who do not want to drink it. At corporate or unfamiliar companies if a couple of people decide to drink, they will persuade other ways to force everyone else until they give up. It is very difficult to get rid of those annoying, so it is often girls symbolically drink the glass, although initially not going to drink. But where one is, there is a second, and the second time the emotional "rapists" will definitely confident of victory, because they have managed to get you to do it once. Do not fall for their tricks, say a firm "no", if you want, and watch out for the volume of alcohol in the company. The larger the company, the greater the risk that you drink more than intended.
