Most at times I find it difficult to take decision between two terms but when looking at this theme without any hesitation I would go with coffee and give up alcohol permanently. I might not be able to share details on alcohol because I haven't tasted it in my life however I have had friends, brothers that really enjoy this drink. I would like to comment based on their testimony about alcohol which really send a clear signal for me to delete it forever on my mind.

The reaction of alcohol in human body is devastating. It eats up the body system and cut short the life span of an individual. A friend said alcohol is bitter and most at times the resultant effect of drinking is dangerous. It will make you act even as a mad person and also makes one loose relevance because you would be considered as an unserious person especially in Africa. I could remember a man that almost walked naked back to his house because he was drunk. He got himself injured along the way and managed later to get home but there was pandemonium between him and his wife.

Another reason that makes me hate alcohol with passion was when I was returning from a long journey. The guy that sat in the front close to the driver had some bottles of alcohol. After a while he brought it out to sip till he finally finished it. Just in less than thirty minutes the guy couldn't hold himself any longer. The driver had to stop. He stepped out and started vomitting all through till I got some water for him to wash up himself. I kept wondering how would you take something hazardous to your body system? Hmmm alcohol has lots of potential to cause so many troubles or dangers or challenges.

Coffee at the other hand, is very good in the human although everything must be moderated because it's commonly said too much of everything is bad. Coffee contains some antioxidant which helps to reduce further health complications. Coffee has some good health benefits which I will to outline even though I started taking coffee very well just few years ago.

Coffee helps one to keep fit and stay healthy. There are other salient benefits as well. I could remember during my undergraduate studies, I used to take coffee so that I stay awake to avoid distraction. I attended a workshop recently and all my breakfast were served with a coffee along the side. And later when I returned to my hotel room, I saw another sachet kept on my table. After I drank it, I was revived to face my next task and I was sustained all through. Alcohol or coffee? I will always go with coffee.

Wow I can see reasons why you prefer coffee to alcohol. Keep enjoying yourself.

Hi @fasacity.
You have done well not to have tasted alcohol in your life, you have not missed out on anything good. Alcohol like cigarettes and narcotics are an enemy of the human race. The bad thing is that the human being himself uses it to destroy himself thinking he is having fun.
Your participation is very good.
Greetings from this side of the planet.

Thanks so much for this kind gesture. I really appreciate your input.
