In this article, I do not want to offend or humiliate anyone. I am not at all a supporter of making fun of anyone. I think you can joke about the situation or the events. But it is incorrect to joke about people, especially those who, depending on the circumstances, or chemicals. I'm interested in understanding this topic in more detail.
I was born and raised in a disadvantaged area. I saw drunks up close. I myself have been drunk sometimes. Therefore, I know a little about what I am writing about.
In my opinion, in a global sense, the existence of drunks is not good and not bad. It's just a given. This will be so as long as alcohol is produced on the planet.
Drunkards are people who have degraded morally or physically, during the prolonged use of alcohol-containing products. Drunkards do not always harm society. Sometimes they are simply engaged in destroying their bodies without harming others.
This is usually a young man under thirty. He does not recognize himself as an alcoholic, but at first glance it is clear that he is a drinker. Addiction to alcohol can be seen on his face, in his eyes, in his behavior. He already knows what a hangover is and he is often under the fly. His gait is soft, relaxed. As a rule, he cannot be at rest. He is either good-natured or aggressive.
If in the early stages, the Beginner drunk does not quit drinking, then over time, he becomes either a "Quiet drunk" or a "Rowdy drunk".
These people drink in apartments or houses, far from people and vanity. They drink quietly so that no one interferes. They don't want to bother anyone either. Such people can be found with a bottle or in the process of drinking, only on their territory, but they do not hide it. If they have a long drinking experience, then their appearance easily betrays them. Their faces are slightly swollen, with characteristic signs of prolonged binges, and their gait is staggering. In their behavior, they actively try to portray people who do not suffer from drunkenness. Quiet drunks are usually lonely.
In my opinion, this type of alcoholic is less of a nuisance to others than others. I think, in a way, they deserve more respect than other alcoholics. In my opinion, they are more worthy of pity and condescension. It is to such people that I want to offer help to a greater extent.
As a rule, they are over forty. At first glance, they are no different from ordinary people. Recognizing the Hidden Alcoholic is extremely difficult. This can happen if you accidentally catch him using the process, or if his wife tells about him. The hidden drunk is usually a bad worker, but a professional at disguising drinking. He may have a straight gait, his eyes are normal, and he may not have bad breath.
It can be difficult to communicate and do joint work with such a person. Alcohol has long been destroying his brain cells. As a result, the personality of such a person degrades, work deteriorates. In addition, a hidden drunk, as a rule, has a difficult character, especially when he did not have time to take a hundred grams.
These people consume alcohol periodically, throughout the day, in small doses. They need it just to maintain tone. If they miss another dose of alcohol, they become lethargic, they lose their mood, they are not able to work.
Hidden drunks themselves do not remember when they became addicted. The level of alcohol in their blood is always the same. Alcoholic drinks are their life gasoline.
The age of such people, as a rule, ranges from 35 to 45 years. They still have a little physical strength left to prove to people around that they are cool. They have bold aggression to behave arrogantly and rudely. But only with those who are outwardly weaker than them.
The rowdy alcoholic does not allow himself and the people around him to live in peace. With a hangover, he terrorizes loved ones. When alcohol has accumulated in the body, it terrorizes the rest. As a rule, sooner or later, such "specimens" end up in a psychiatric hospital or prison, sometimes in a cemetery, bypassing the first two options.
The face is gray or yellow-gray. He looks at the world with empty, red, clouded eyes. He looks more like a zombie than a human.
He does not need to eat. For him, food is not important at all. Zombie alcoholics are not gourmet. They are not picky about alcohol, they are ready to drink anything and always.
They do not have the ability to perceive and respond to demands from a civilized society, not to piss in public places.
Such drunks do not care what happens to him or what will happen in the future.
Zombie alcoholics accept their fate unconditionally. They have long forgotten everything and everyone. They do not care where fate has placed them at the moment: behind bars in a police station, a damp basement of a high-rise building, or a destroyed house. They are always as if in hibernation. They are in an amorphous state. In a state of oblivion and numbness. Only at the sight of an alcohol-containing liquid, they seem to wake up, come to life and immediately move in the direction of the smell of the potion.
These comrades can also be very aggressive and dangerous. You cannot stand in their way to alcohol-containing substances. Their body supports life for the sake of C2H5OH. In order to obtain the coveted chemical substance Zombie drunks can attack any living creature.
Many people think that Zombie drunks live long. In fact, the lifespan of Zombie Drunkards is very short. Zombie drunk - this is the last stage at which the brain is almost decomposed, the liver and kidneys are no longer functioning. But for some strange reason, unknown to science, the body is still trying to move.
I think all people, including drunks, have the right to choose how they live. They can drink or not drink if they like. The main thing is that they do not violate the rights and freedoms of other people. And if they violate, they must be isolated from society. Or treat if they agree.
