Alcohol Impairs Your Judgment

Have you ever been waiting for someone who has been drinking? Do they ever seem to loose track of time? This is one problem with impaired judgment. The sober loved one is wondering and worrying why their loved one hasn't called and should be either home or somewhere else they promised. It can be heartbreaking for the non-alcoholic.

This is just one aspect of the disease of alcoholism. Impaired judgment effects finances (debit cards and credit cards are very dangerous in an intoxicated state). Something turns off in the brain and it is running on what they call the "Primitive Brain".
Every one of us has  “primitive brain” (that part of the human nervous system dedicated to our survival). Sounds pretty self-explanatory. All that means to me in very simplistic terms is that conscience and judgment and the drinker's usual wonderful character seems to have left the building...

Alcohol impairs personal relations. Ever been out on a "mission" when your significant other has been bothering you, or you have been fighting? Consuming alcohol is very dangerous in this situation. How many times have you heard, "My spouse drove me to drink", or "My girlfriend made drove me so crazy I just HAD to escape? Well, to anyone that is not in the throws of addiction, this is definitely just an excuse. We are all responsible for our own actions.
