Maybe I wouldn’t have noticed the two men on the bench at the park if the news clip on the radio in the car that morning hadn’t caught my ear.. This one finds that “many men” feel socially inept among their male peers unless alcohol is involved. I’d be willing to bet that many women feel the same. When only 23 per cent of Australians abstain from alcohol, it’s clear where the norm lies and how drinking is largely a communal event.
There was a casualness to it, a familiarity they shared in that bonding gesture of a hand to hand exchange. A communion – father and son, sitting in the shade, sharing a beer. And then another. And another.
Liked this thoughtful article.
Give up booze. You'll thank yourself for it. I gave it up for a year in 2017, lost 13kg and gained a whole new perspective. I do have a drink occasionally now. One every few weeks. But I'll never go back to thinking a bottle of wine over the course of an evening is OK. It's not.
Everything in moderation.
If every body else has a drinking problem in your opinion then you probably have a drinking problem
The girls have a drinking problem than the guys...it is proven...they compete against each other and they have to smoke too..to look good!
Well done to take a step back!.. takes courage... 👏🏼💚
So many wine-eyed depressed mummies these days. Hell aren’t you guys going well.
If you feel your drinking is an issue, then you do have a problem. Well done on the alcohol free days. I gave up alcohol for lent 15+ years ago and discovered I didn’t miss it. It’s not for everyone but more power to you for making the effort.
Do I have a drinking problem, or does everyone else just have a problem with my drinking
What problem?
It’s not just you. Literally everyone on the planet has to drink to survive.
The simple way to find out if you have a drink problem is to give up for 3 months. Simple! O'h, and you could get your liver function tested.
