If the word of the Guru is not enough weight in convincing you to give up alcohol, read this page and find out some interesting researched facts about the havoc that alcohol can cause.
Alcohol takes effect very quickly but takes much longer to wear off.
It is easily absorbed into the blood stream and begins to affect the brain causing impairment. 30 minutes after the drink two thirds has been absorbed. 1 hour after the drink all the alcohol is absorbed and this is accelerated further when drinking on an empty stomach and having many drinks after each other. It simply takes time. Alcohol only has this effect for a short while and often leaves people feeling depressed and miserable later.
