ENGLISH TRANSLATION

“The drunkard forgets his sorrow” but for a while, because he/she often discover that his/her sorrow is still very much around after waking up eventually.  With all the enlightenment and advertisement that alcoholism is associated with various severe diseases and the embarrassment it causes, many drunkards would forgo money for education, food and other basic need for him/herself and the family to drink without thinking of the consequences to family, friends and neighbours.  In spite of Government, family and friends’ warning to the drunkard, as the warning is going in through the right ear, it is escaping through the left for those addicted.

Depression is one of the major cause of excessive drinking, but drinking cannot cure depression except to increase it when a drunkard wake

up after his/her slumber.  What family and friends of people with alcoholism can do is to encourage him/her to seek help to avoid untimely death.

Everything should be done in moderation, excessive alcohol intake is not good for anyone.
