THINGS PEOPLE DO
UNDER THE INFLUENCE OF ALCOHOL.
As mockery truths of an
old man who tripped into the gutter after consuming an awful lot of palm wine
jingles through time as tales; the sparkling bubbles of champagne channelled
into a tube of Red-glass rises to entice the young and old folks. ‘Just a sip’
that eventually led to a temporary loss of consciousness has been the new order.
Here are some memorable actions of people under the influence of alcohol:
SEXUAL ASSAULT AND RAPE: She remembers doing
barbecue and shots of small Stout at the nightclub, before heading out where
she got blackout drunk. When she became conscious, she was groggy, standing in
the bathroom of her dorm room. Looking at the mirror, her hair was a mess and behind
her was a man slipping out the door. It
was just a few weeks into her freshman year on Campus, and Sandra had become a
survivor of what she wasn’t sure of. All she knew was that her head was
bleeding and blood had spattered on the floor, stained her bed sheets, her
pillows and her pinkly-striped comforter.
The
consumption of alcohol radically alters one’s ability to make safe decisions
especially during sexual relations. It decreases one’s ability to consider the
consequences of their actions, inflates one’s ego and often times, victims end
up playing the role of scapegoat.
DROWSINESS: Whether it’s a shot at
Dark Sailor or a glass of Whisky, many are familiar with the surprise
sleep-inducing effects of an evening drink. Those under the influence of alcohol
take less time to fall asleep. At events, they vomit, collapse helplessly and
all you’ll have to do is hire a taxi to take them home.
SLURRED SPEECH: Have you ever noticed
that after a few drinks, a person’s speaking becomes a little suspended?
Consonants bleeding into vowels, and the next thing you know, they are
seriously telling you, “forgat dah thing!
You shee... shumtimes when I have drinksh
I josh fly go Sweden.”
Alcohol
consumption slows down brain activity, restricts blood flow to the muscles and
lowers inhibitions, which make drinkers less worried about articulations. So
when next you contemplate drinking, slurred speech should be a foresight to
what the future holds.
These
are nightmares of alcohol-beverages-gone-wild; make sure you take a prudent
look at the barman before you drop your next coin.
