Question by Peter P: Isn’t it funny how there are warnings on cigarette packs but none for alcoholic drinks?
Alcohol is responsible for liver failures, brain damage, abuse, violent crimes are connected to alcohol, it destroys your brain cells and it apparently contributes to many mental illnesses (much more than marijuana or cigarettes does) So is this just throwing cigarettes in the spotlight? I mean yes they are very bad for you but why then is alcoholic drinks often advertised as classy and sometimes even a healthy pastime? There was a time when cigarette were advertised in the same way.
I am not a cigarette smoker by the way, it’s a terrible habit.

Question by DanaZ: How mentally healthy are you or how healthy is your family?
I’m wondering whether or not people are clustered within groups of healthy or unhealthy people by either familial relation which may influence choices in friends who are also either healthy or unhealthy – or is society a mix randomly. It seems to me that everyone in my family has some sort of mental health issue or alcoholic/dependent features. I wonder if the choices I’ve made in my life are a reflection of my role models as I’ve realized I often place myself around unhealthy people. Not only do I see this in my family, but extended family and their friends and network etc. Or maybe this unhealthy behavior is peppered throughout society without a pattern. I’m wondering…any thoughts?
Very good answers, all of you. Thank you all so much for the feedback. It will be hard to choose a best answers. You are all winners in my opinion.
With appreciation,

Answer by makemeaspark I am very healthy emotionally.
My son is just recovered from depression(long term).
My daughter gets the blues about average for a 16 year old.
We have taken in a troubled young mom and she is doing pretty good at our house so far. Her 4 year old needs a firmer hand and we are working on this with her.
I had depression when I was my kids age.
Read up on Cognitive therapy and I think that you will see that patterns of belief about life events and how people treat you can cause depression. So this can be a family thing. If a family has a lot of negative speech or are very critical of family members this can really contribute to poor cognition.
Question by SHH: What non alcoholic beverage to order at restaurants in Paris?
I’d like to know what non-alcoholic beverage choices I have if I don’t drink wine..
I think most would order mineral water or sparkling water. Coke is probably not a popular choice being in France, plus it’s not a healthy choice. Is iced tea commonly available?
Thanks!
Best answer:
Answer by NOLA guy Ice tea will probably not be available.
Anything else is fine, including Coca-Cola. Also juice.

Question by Mark: How is my unfinished paper looking?
The story “Because My Father Always Said He Was the Only Indian Who saw Jimi Hendrix Play ‘The Star-Spangled Banner’ at Woodstock” by Sherman Alexie displays several issues Native Americans face everyday. In this story Alexie touches on how alcoholism and other social issues prevent Native American families from having positive relationships. Because Victor’s parents are alcoholics, they fail to have a healthy relationship, therefore not raising their child in a right way.
The biggest issue Victor’s parents had was Alcoholism. It seems like alcohol is the main reason nothing in the family is working out. It is one of the reasons Victor’s dad is not there for him a lot, and at the same time it’s one of the reasons why Victor’s parents relationship did not work out. One can not help but think of how alcohol can disrupt a family and cause nothing but turmoil. “My father and mother would get drunk and leave parties abruptly to go home and make love.” No normal human being would want to hear stories like this about their parents. Just the fact that Victor knows about this, makes it quite evident that something is not right in the household. When his dad’s favorite musician Jimi Hendrix came over to drink with him, Victor’s dad would drink so much that he would pass out on the kitchen floor and Victor would sleep right next to him. “My father would weep, attempt to hum along with Jimi, and then pass out with his head on the kitchen table”. Victor’s dad just showed no responsibility what so ever. He obviously cared more about getting drunk more than his son’s future.
Victor’s parents relationship was not a positive one at all. One of the biggest family problems with alcoholics is violence and There was a lot of it in their relationship. They fought constantly. Victor mentions that them making love at night makes up for all of the fighting. “I know exactly what it sounds like when my parents are touching each other. It makes up for knowing exactly what they sound like when they’re fighting. It seems like Victor’s parents totally forgot that he existed at times. This is not something a child wants to hear their parents doing.
Victor’s father always found something that would distract him from the family. Whether it was drinking, playing and listening to music, or even riding his bike while listening to music, it seemed like he enjoyed anything more than being around his family and trying to make things work out.
Please fix anything you see.
Best answer:
Answer by Sea Hime Do we know WHY Victor’s father drank excessively? Does Victor not see the root causes of the issues? I think if you look at that as well and bring it in, this adds to the overall helplessness of the family and their turmoil.

Utah has addressed underage drinking in a variety of ways. This video increases awareness of some of Utah’s statewide initiatives and promotes collaboration with local coalitions. Thisvideo was produced through the SAMHSA/CSAP Underage Drinking Prevention Education Initiatives (UADPEI) in an ongoing collaboration with States and Territories to produce videos that support local underage drinking prevention communications efforts. Across the Nation, every State and Territory is unique and so are their approaches to preventing and reducing underage drinking. The video project supports the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration’s Strategic Initiative #1: Prevention of Substance Abuse and Mental Illness, which states, “… prevention of underage drinking [is] a priority for States, Territories, Tribal entities, universities and communities.” For more information or resources, visit: www.stopalcoholabuse.gov starttalkingnow.org store.samhsa.gov Video Rating: 1 / 5
healthybalanceddiet.org What a Healthy Weight Loss Diet Should Include ● Fruits and vegetables in the diet. The ideal dietary meal plan should be composed of 60% of fruits and vegetables. In order for this to not seem like a responsibility, choose fruits and veggies that you actually like. It would be best to eat veggies that are baked, steamed or better yet raw. ● Low fat proteins. A great source of low fat proteins is fish such as butterfish, anchovies, herring and mackerel to name a few. Aside from fish, oysters, clams, crawfish and shrimps are good sources too. Chicken and turkey would be great just make sure to remove the skin. ● Low carbs not NO carbs. Carbohydrates are essential for our body because it is our chief source of energy. Although we need to lower our intake of this nutrient during the weight loss process, this does not mean we totally have to remove it from the diet. There are also healthy carbs such as brown rice, brown bread and boiled, baked or mashed potatoes. ● Be cautious of drinks. Not many people take drinks seriously when it comes to cutting off weight but the truth is it can also contribute to weight gain. You need to keep off from soft drinks even those no fat, no sugar ones. Alcoholic drinks should be avoided too because not only are they unhealthy but they also are high in calories, if you can’t avoid it take it in minimal amounts. Most importantly, drink lots of water. ● Regular exercise. The best and healthiest way towards losing …

Question by free willy: how can I tell if I am an alcoholic?
I like to have a few drinks. I drink alcohol 3 times a week. Each time I have 3 or 4 drinks made with whiskey I have never missed work because of my drinking. I have never had a DUI. I do not drink everyday for fear of being addicted. I have blood tests every year to check that my liver is still healthy. I am concerned that I am on the road to alcoholism. Is there a test to determine how much alcohol is too much.
I have been doing this for 10 years ever since I retired. Before I retired I only drank on special occasions and at the end of the week.
Best answer:
Answer by Miss B I personally do not think you are.
Do you get abusive? I know someone who will drink once a day and have about 3 drinks and will get very verbal.
Whiskey is a bit too much, try cutting back your alcohol

shanlarter.com Hey! Thanks for stopping by for another video in my “Eating Disorder Rehab” SMOOTHIE SERIES where I share some of my FAVOURITE smoothies with you that were such a powerful and healing part of my own Eating Disorder Rehab. Confused over the word “antioxidant”? Hear it everywhere and wonder what the heck is the big deal about antioxidants anyway? Well here are a few points to clear the mental fog (LITERALLY!) – Antioxidants is really just a fancy term for “vitamins and minerals that combat free-radicals” – Some well known antioxidants are Vitamin A, Vitamin B-6, Vitamin B-12, Beta carotene, Vitamin C, Vitamin E, Selenium, Folic Acid. – Some powerful fruit sources of antioxidants are: prunes, raisins, blueberries, blackberries, strawberries, raspberries, plums, oranges, apples, red grapes and cherries. – Some powerful veggie sources of antioxidants are: kale, spinach, Brussels sprouts, broccoli florets, beets, onions. – Its important to combat free radicals because most scientists believe that: free radicals are responsible for weakened immune systems, arthritis, heart trouble, stroke, cancer, and even wrinkled dry skin. Many researchers are proving the link between basic ageing and low antioxidant levels as a ’cause and effect relationship’ suggesting that we can slow down the ageing clock LITERALLY just by eating hefty amounts of antioxidants in our daily food intake. – the BEST source of antioxidants is fresh, uncooked, organic fruits and veggies.

www.quit-drinking.info Other substances besides alcohol act injuriously on the brain; but there is none that compares with this in the extent, variety and diabolical aspect of the mental aberrations which follow its use. We are not speaking thoughtlessly or wildly; but simply uttering a truth well-known to every man of observation, and which every man, and especially those who take this substance in any form, should, lay deeply to heart. Why it is that such awful and destructive forms of insanity should follow, as they do, the use of alcohol it is not for us to say. That they do follow it, we know, and we hold, up the fact in solemn warning. Another consideration, which should have weight with every one, is this, that no man can tell what may be the character of the legacy he has received from his ancestors. He may have an inheritance of latent evil forces, transmitted through many generations, which only await some favoring opportunity to spring into life and action. So long as he maintains a rational self-control, and the healthy order of his life be not disturbed, they may continue quiescent; but if his brain loses its equipoise, or is hurt or impaired, then a diseased psychical condition may be induced and the latent evil forces be quickened into life.
