Excessive drinkers and alcoholics should heed this warning – chronic drinking can virtually do irreversible damage to the body particularly the brain cells. Coupled with aging, it often manifests in people in the advancing age in which rapid brain deterioration almost usually affects behavior and way of thinking.
My uncle used to be one of them until he finally got his act together and quit chronic drinking. Since, he started to attend ATS, Heavy Equipment Operator School, where he learned the skills of operating heavy equipment vehicles and construction trucks including loader, bulldozer, excavator, crane..etc. I was glad that the training he required from the school led him to better career opportunities where he could put what his skills into practice. The satisfaction he got out of his career as a heavy equipment operator had helped him to stay sober til today.
These days, he still drank a glass or two on special occasions but otherwise, he stayed sober to maintain the professionalism and integrity of his job in the construction firm.
You may like to know that alcoholics also constantly face the risk of throat, mouth, and liver cancers, as well as cardiovascular disease (CVD). Since CVD and diabetes are largely influenced by blood cholesterol levels, avoiding alcohol greatly reduces the risks of acquiring such disease because the latter can affect the amount of cholesterol in the bloodstream as well as hinders the formation of clots.
