I drink because I want to get a heart attack: Stupid reasons to drink

A weak moment, a feeble promise, a stupid excuse is enough to leave a permanent damage to all these real things in life and what you get in return is a flicker of temporary joy.

Old Delhi Films’ video Stupid Reasons to Drink shows how people befool themselves to consume alcohol, while this addiction is landing them to a dark pit called death.

According to WHO report, around 30% of the total population of India consumed alcohol between 2008-12. The data was compiled taking into account individuals over the age of 15 and above, who consumed alcohol. Also 11% of the population in India indulged in heavy or binge-drinking. The global figure stood at 16%.

On the ‘Years of Life Lost’ scale, which is based on alcohol-attributable fractions, 2012, India has been rated 4 on a scale of 1 to 5. (Read report)

Coming back to the video. Why aren’t we addicted to life? Why aren’t we addicted to happiness? Why aren’t we addicted to love?

These are some of the questions that need to be answered by people who are no less than a slave to alcohol.

Wake up people, it’s never too late. Get high on life, not alcohol.
