Why I Don’t Drink Alcohol……..
1. Studies show that your kids will be exactly like you. So I don’t drink because I play the odds, for my benefit and for the benefit of my child.
2. If I want to live a $150,000 per year lifestyle (after tax) when I retire, I need about $3 million in the bank at age 65. I don’t have the extra money to poison myself because I need to prepare for a retirement where I can afford to keep exploring how to make the world a better place. If someone invests $75 per week at 6% interest starting at 20 years of age (instead of spending that same $75 per week on booze, smokes, junk food, weed, meaningless purchases and other things they don’t need) by the time they’re 65, they’ll have near $1 million dollars saved. That’s just taking from the budget for your worst life and funneling the same money into your best life. The average smoker in the US spends nearly $1.5 million dollars on killing themselves, during their lifetime. http://ti.me/1t2Byj9 I don’t drink because I’m intelligent enough to do the math. The math alone screams what to do, without factoring in all the stupid decisions people make when they drink plus dying early with no money etc etc. Do the math, unslave, reject the poison and be a real hero that others can gain inspiration from.
3. I’m too busy working toward my goals of being the best person I can be for myself, my family and the community I live in…… to lose even 1 minute of my time to a hang over. My dreams include me being my best. True self love is never about hurting self, by one’s own hand. As I learn to love myself properly, by extension I learn how to love others properly. An alcohol free lifestyle is a win win for me and everyone else around me. By learning to love and protect myself with passion, I learn to love and protect those around me with the same passion.
4. The toxicity effects of alcohol are proven to last for weeks after consumption. One of those toxic effects is a drop in IQ. Why would I want a lowered IQ inside a world that’s made purposely difficult by the same people who sell, distribute and popularize alcohol in our society? The people who sell us alcohol use it as a lubricant for what they want, at our expense. I’m stepping out of that cycle. Being healthy inside a profoundly sick society, is the ultimate act of rebellion. I walk the earth alcohol free, asking others to join me in helping change the world to one that’s better to live in. Alcohol is placed into our communities on purpose to keep us all trapped in a life of “less”. Put the booze down, open the prison door and walk out into your best life.
5. After years of research, I’m fully aware of the ruling families who make sure our culture is drowning in a tsunami of chemically lobotomizing alcohol and other brain damaging substances. These ruling families have always used alcohol to increase their tyrannical rule over a heavily sedated and dysfunctional slave class…..plus alcohol helps extract financial wealth from the labor force, in order to strengthen a slave’s need to return to work and pursue every other avenue in life, other than their true vocation. These evil ruling families aren’t getting one more cent of my money. I dedicate my non sedated, fully functional brain to educating the masses about what’s really going on. My hate for my slave masters would rather see me die than give them one cent more of my money or poison myself for their amusement. If you knew how evil these people were, you would never drink another drop. That I can guarantee you.
6. I’m not going to use alcohol to help decorate an empty life or make boring situations tolerable, so that my soul can die a slow death trying to fit into the dysfunctional herd. If life is boring, scary, insane and confusing………..I can handle it. A crappy life is crappy enough without being broke and hung over because I’m too scared to deal with it. I’m not gathering with friends to drink, so I can forget about how insane and unpleasant my life is. I’m staying sober and I’m doing the best for me, my family and anyone else who wants to apply rational thought and logical action to a desperate situation. I’m on a race to the top, not the bottom. Living an average or mediocre life won’t cut it. I’ll drive to my goal without taking a break, 24 hours per day, every chance I get. If life does suck on many levels, how am I supposed to change that unsatisfying existence with less money and with a polluted mind sitting in a pool of toxic alcohol? How? The world needs more non sedated, healthy and fully functional REAL adults. Count me in and lets get to work.
That’s why I stopped drinking 5 years ago. It’s just easier not driving your life drunk. Start where you are. Use what you have. Do what you can.
Let’s keep working toward awakening the younger generation who almost don’t have a chance at the current rate parent’s are absconding. You’ve laid it out clearly and concisely. In a sea of the insane, the sane man will appear insane.
