In Persian language, wine is called Sharaab (ਸ਼ਰਾਬ) which literally means 'the water of mischief' (ਸ਼ਰਾਤੀ ਪਾਣੀ). By drinking alcohol the intellect is destroyed. Waheguru is forsaken and the gem of the human life is wasted. Alcohol is a depressant that slows brain activity down. While one or two drinks makes most people feel relaxed, more alcohol may cause feelings of anxiety, depression, and often aggression. Sometimes people say "I will only have one glass" but in the mood of joy or sometimes when a person is feeling so low, that the one glass becomes two, then three and eventually the whole bottle of alcohol. Therefore, why become part of this slippery slope pattern?

Alcohol's first effect as it reaches the outer brain is to distort your judgement and lower you inhibition, while producing euphoria (a sense of pleasure). As you consume more alcohol, and it reaches the cerebellum, your coordination and perception are affected, and you can have memory blackouts. As the alcohol reaches your mid-brain, reflexes diminish; you experience confusion, stupor, and may lapse into a coma. Once the alcohol finally reaches the medulla, or inner core of the brain, your heart rate drops and breathing ceases, resulting in death. Research suggests that continued alcohol use can cause depression. Alcohol robs brain cells of water and glucose, the brain's food, contributing to a hangover the next day. Furthermore Alcohol depresses the body's immune system making it easier to get sick. It also disrupts your sleep patterns, further depressing the immune system. Other complications include osteoporosis, obesity, or liver damage. Alcohol has been linked to an increased risk of breast cancer, high blood pressure, diabetes, kidney disease, heart disease, constipation, and strokes.

ok am not guna chat <mod cut> but iv had the biggest blow 2 my life already (multiple sclerosis) where my own immune system was attacking my nerves by mistake and hav had my treatment and asked the main doctors if am fit to drink and these guys made the drugs and they said its safe..

No offence, but I vote for this being the dumbest Sikhi related question ever. Secondly there is no point arguing with this guy, if he wants to drink he can, we shouldn't give a hell about him and we should carry on living in Gursikhi jeevan instead of pointless arguments.

Brotherhood? How can we be brothers if your not even fit enough to speak, I understand your illness trust me my uncle recently died, he only had 2 grams of blood left in his body why because he kept on drinking. Alcohol does not help you relax it alters your mind leaving you unfit to even move.
