The Meaning Of Wine
Ancient Chinese people have a say, ‘What can most effectively help us feel better when we are upset? Only wine can do that.’ Does wine just mean a ‘painkiller’ of soul? I admit that I am an alcoholic (but I never allow myself to get drunk), wine means a lot to me.
Most people drink wine when feeling upset. I like to drink when I feel desperate. Drinking of course cannot help to tackle problems, but at least, after drinking I would just feel sleepy and after having a good sleep, I can get back my energy the day after to continue my work and to tackle trouble.
To gain excitement is another reason that makes us drink. Wine appears nearly in every celebrations and parties. Surely, even if we don・t drink, we can still have a great time during parties, but obviously, wine can really create a more exciting atmosphere and makes the people feel more passionate!
Drinking helps to strengthen our guts! Actors in films drink before they fight, this appears in 5 out of 10 Chinese martial art movies. For me, when I do not have the gut to do something I normally won’t do, I may drink a bit to make myself brave enough to act. I believe many people have experience like this.
I have a very good example to share. My friend loves a handsome guy for a long period of time but she dared not to let him know. One day we went for happy hour and after drinking some wine, she was so brave to call the guy and let him know how much she adored him. Now they are going to get engaged soon! How lovely wine is!
When we want to create a relaxing environment, we drink. In many events alcohols are provided, like cocktail receptions, ‘Table for Four’ dating, casual interviews and orientation. Wine is provided to create a less stressful and more relaxing environment, so that people can make friends easily. The atmosphere would not be that relaxing without wine.
Scholars and news groups always emphasize how harmful drinking is. No doubt, many crimes like speed-driving, wounding and raping are caused by severe intoxication, however, drinking wine is not equivalent to crime.
To drink is not to err, if we can control ourselves not to drink too much, wine can be very good for us. That・s why, no matter how much I love drinking, the bottom line is never to let myself get drunk. Remember, to enjoy wine, is not to create crime.
