Drunk

Dear Y,

        It is overwhelming to see someone become drunk in front of you.
        Few minutes ago, he was fine. And later, he started talking loud and gibberish.
        We looked at each other, and agreed that he was drunk, even though he denied it.
        We advised people to stop and reduce alcohol drinking. We heard the bad stories and complications from alcohol intoxication and dependence. Yet some people do not practice what they preached.
        I have seen drunk people while working, but I have not seen the process from sober to drunk until last night.
        There is a sense of helplessness and anxiety being the observer. No, he wasn't violent at all. But you just can't help yourself to feel anxious of the drunk's disinhibition and unpredictable behaviour.
        A little drink is fine, once you are over the threshold, it is a risk to the drunk, and also to other people.
        So people, please cut down drinking, and drink with care. Being a drunk is not worth it. Alcohol is not your friend.
