Binge Drinking
I have worked with people who were not major drinkers, but became them when on certain gigs. Years ago, I worked on a cruise ship as a performer. I was never much of a drinker because I didn’t like the after effects (hangover). For me personally, once in awhile was okay. For others, it seemed crazy drinking nights on almost a daily basis worked for them just fine. I was lucky to never witness any of the truly awful after effects of drinking.
But then I learn about what it does to the body and it freaks me out. I was working with young 20 year olds. In my opinion, our bodies were still young and resilient. I am sure that there were people who had problems with their bodies from all the drinking. There had to be. These researches do not come out of nowhere. Working on the ship - man, there was so much drinking going on. And in many cases, a lot of addictive behaviors in general. We were all stuck on a ship and I think it became a human instant to find some sort of regular escape. No one likes to feel trapped.
Regardless, over doing anything is not a good thing. So, be careful and keep praying for balance.
