Alcohol... Should I, should I not ?

What is alcohol? 

Alcohol is a clear drink that is made from corn, barley, grain, rye or a beverage containing ethyl. When a person drinks alcohol, about 20 percent is absorbed in the stomach, and 80 percent is absorbed in the small intestine. The concentration of alcohol, the type of drink and whether the stomach is full or empty depends on how fast the alcohol is absorbed. Once the alcohol is absorbed into the tissue, it affects your mind and body. Blood alcohol concentration can rise up to 20 minutes after having a drink. After alcohol is absorbed it leaves the body in three ways: the kidneys, lungs and liver.

How is it made?

Beer and wine are called fermented beverages. They are made by adding yeast to a substance that contains sugar. The yeast starts the formation process, which turns sugar into ethyl and carbon dioxide gas. Beer is made from barley malt. The people who brew the beer soak the barley in water to make it sprout. When the barley dries, they take off the sprouts only leaving starch or malt. The malt is ground up and mixed up with water to form mash. This is put into another mash which contains corn or rice that has been crushed and heated. The starch from corn or rice is then changed to sugar. Some dried flowers are added to the mash to add flavor, then the mash is fermented. Then the brewers age the beer for several weeks to add taste in the beer.

Yeh Zindagi

Tukdon tukdon mein bat-ti Yeh Zindagi

tukdon tukdon mein kat-ti Yeh Zindagi,

Har roz sambhalta hoon mein isko

phir bhi bikharti Yeh Zindagi

Why+ How+ What= Dimaag Ki Dahi

Not some isolated incidents but almost every second person I’m coming across is leading this way of life and I am just wondering…

WHY???

Why are people leading such type of life? Why is no one holding the strings which are meant for lifetime and desire of holding them is also nowhere? Why is it acceptable for them in their minds, but only for themselves? Why is it like having sandwich in breakfast, burger in lunch and pizza in dinner, and sometimes bites of more than one in a single meal? Why “Chhoo Kar Mere Mann Ko…” being totally replaced by “Kabhi Mere Saath Ek…”? Balance, no doubt, is, important, but still balance is needed.

HOW???

One, two, three…… eight, nine, …… how many counts will be considered enough? Or, is this the new social norm that the number at one same time should be atleast equal to the number of Sim cards one is holding? Come on! Either the limit can be one or it will be, then, none.
