BOOZING....

The one and only thing that a man, especially malayalees, would do if he is happy or sad by any case – BOOZING

The word is appropriate. It sounds something like unconscious. Wow! Isn’t it cool? The last year’s financial records of Kerala Govt say that it has the record-braking sale of alcohols in the state. Comparing to previous year’s record this year is more and is around 26 crores. This is the most amount of alcohol that a state has consumed in the last year. That’s why I have mentioned malayalees, in particular, at the start of this subject.

Why are people so confined to enjoy something good or suffer their sorrows by boozing? The youth is not at all bad in this case. Some have tried it even in their school days, some during their college days, some after getting job, some after that. I fall in the second category. I have tried it during my graduation days. In most of the cases this in hereditary, but cant completely rely on that. Because one of my friend’s father is a good asset to the KSBC(hope everybody knows that). But my friend doesn’t like to drink. But as the other side of the coin, some think that y shouldn’t I if my father is doing it. But in most of the cases it’s the first case and vice versa.

In my case, my dad doesn’t drink. He used to take a peg only for a company, my mom don’t like it. But I used to have it. My parents don’t know anything about that. The funniest part is that I started this during my graduation final year. When we were going for our final year tour, I took a bottle of sprite as I thought, but I wasn’t. It was actually a mixture of White rum and sprite made by some of my friends for their purpose. As soon as I took my first sip, I came to know that its not sprite. But since I took a sip, I didn’t stop. Since then I started taking this.

The worst part of this is that, while I was in college, my friends and me decided to take full vodka. But unfortunately nobody has money. Then the plan got postponed to next weekend. But the strength wasn’t sufficient enough to buy one. Obviously it got postponed to next week. This two time postponing has raised my eager to take vodka at any cost next time. I lose patience and waited for the next weekend to approach. As soon as Friday evening came we collected the cash and went to the as usual KSBC to get it. We bought all the required items to have it. I took 4 pegs within 5 minutes due to the delay in execution of the idea. That day I cant forget. 4 People and 1.25L vodka. I have no count on how many pegs I took. But whatever amount I have taken, it was more than enough for me to kill the fire burning inside me for the past 3 weeks. The next morning I had a hangover, but I went and had my breakfast. As soon as I returned back to my hostel I vomited all my breakfast. I was totally out of control. By 1.30 I went to take my lunch. I was tired and hungry as there was nothing in me. On returning, I vomited that also. That moment was the most horrifying moment and I cant forget any moment of it. I said to myself that I wont take anymore in my life, because I had to suffer that much at that moment.

Even when any celebration comes, I used to join the boozing team, even if it is a passing of an examination or winning a game or something else just like winning a girls heart. Whatever be the situation the ultimate aim is to boooz……


But most of the times I use to think of my parents. Then my mind will be filled with thoughts. Since my parents don’t know that drink, I have a guilty feeling of taking it. But that feeling will come only after taking it. Why is it so?

But why man opts for this way as soon as they hear something good or bad. Is this the only way to enjoy something? Isn’t there any other way to enjoy to the max? Everybody including me used to think this only after having it. After all it’s the human nature.

But why boozing???…
