Everyone can be an influence to someone. Everything can be an influence to people.
Influence is the power to change someone or something. It has the power to cause changes without directly forcing them to happen.
We had a night out recently. My husband and his workmates have their team bonding at the beach. My husband allow us to go with them so we can have our bonding too, I can unwind and we could swim in the sea again.
They have lots of team bonding activities and games that made me enjoy too.
After the activities we had our dinner and everyone have their own time. Some went to the sea and swim while others are just in the beach watching others swimming. Men have their own groups too and they formed a circle with a liquor in front of them.
I am not used to a group who drinks liquor or strong alcoholic drinks because my father and even my husband didn't drink it. Me myself is not drinking it too.
Though I wasn't in the circle but still I can see how the liquor influenced them. I will list some influence of liquor that I have observed. Don't get me wrong about this, this is just my observation and I am willing to hear your thoughts about it.
Make them happy
I don't know why most people who is under the influence of liquor can smile easily and can laugh out loud. Might be because they tend to forget their problems for the mean time. Am I right? Friends who are taking it can you share why you felt so happy when you are in the influenced of liquor?
I can see them laughing and there is no faking of it. It seems that they are so happy with their life.
Though I enjoy in this part because I can also laugh with them but still I know that they act like that because of the influence of liquor.
Make their voice and the way they speak changed
Yes, I noticed that their voice and the way they speak was changed. They can't almost utter the words correctly and clearly. You can understand it though but sometimes you can ask "what did he said?". Though not all of them but there are some.
Make them have confidence
People who are shy when they are not in the influence of liquor can become people with a lot of confidence when having it. My husband says that he never expected one of his workmate to be as talkative as that because it is a silent type person at work. He also became a singer and a dancer at that time. Everytime the music plays, he will dance and he keeps on singing.
Make them act disrespectful
This is not good to see even people who became a so called victim is aware that someone is under influenced of liquor. One of them intentionally trying to touch the private part of the girls. As he passed, you have to be careful because he will wave his hands towards your private part. Good thing a girl is vigilant enough to avoid or stop him from doing it.
Make them vomit
Oh! yes they easily vomit everywhere. We are also affected as someone vomit in the CR and some in the bathroom. We don't have a choice but to clean it before using it because you all know how it smells and how it looks like. Oh don't imagine it, you might vomit too.
Make them sleep anywhere
Because they are so drunk, they didn't mind the rain, the cold, the sand and they sleep everywhere. Some sleep in the beach along the seashore, some under the table and a dog is beside him and some in the chairs.
Make them use out of their money
Some said they don't wanted to join in that team bonding activity because they don't have money. But in the beach, they keep on buying again and again some liquor to drink. Their superintendent told them that it is enough and they should stop drinking because they are so drunk but after it we found out and saw someone who came from the store bringing another bottle of liquor.
I don't know how it cost but for sure it pricey too because I was once saw a post that liquor and gasoline have almost the same price. People are complaining about gasoline but not about liquors.
Make them out of their mind
One of them might be affected greatly by the hard liquor they drink. It made him didn't listen to anyone. He won't listen if his workmates told him to sleep, or not to go to swim. They look for him to protect him from drowning. But there is one thing they were not able to protect - to protect his "posteso" (artificial teeth) from falling. Yes, his artificial teeth might fall in the sea and many of them tried looking for it but to no avail. So, he went home without teeth.
Those were the things I have noticed last night. My dear friends who are drinking liquor please drink responsibly. I know that all of you already knew that it can also bring negative effects in our body and in our health.
My dear friends, take care of your body. Your family loves you.
Thanks for reading.
