To day I am very sad. The son of my cousin sister, in his early forties, dies of lever cirrhosis caused by excessive drinking leaving behind motherless two sons in their early teens in charge of his helpless mother who lost her two other sons younger to the one just died to the same decease. The wife of the deceased had died 2 years back suffering from cancer. The tragedy looks like a movie story but it is the fact. Why can't people leave their excessive drinking habit? It has ruined so many lives, not just of the ones who are addict but also of those who depend on them. The purpose of my writing this for discussion is to caution those in mylot who may be addict to this habit and appeal to them to leave it in time before it gets too late.

for me one of the reason is because they think that they found a lot of friend if they can drink more than of their body capacity. even though they knew already that excessive drinking can harm to their health.

I am so very sorry for the loss of those two poor children and moreso for the mother who lost all his sons for the devil called Drinking.... I know a few guys who drink a lot... I try my best to tell them to stop it before its too late... But there are hardly any people who take the advices in the right manner... They wont understand it until its too late.... I sometimes get worried about their addiction or whatever I can say about them.... But I just couldn't help....
