Positively Negative

People drank for joy - and became miserable.

People drank for sociability - and became argumentative.

People drank for sophistication - and became obnoxious.

People drank for friendship - and became enemies.

People drank for sleep - and awakened exhausted.

People drank for strength - and felt weak.

People drank to feel exhilaration - and ended up depressed.

People drank for “medical purposes” - and acquired health problems

People drank to get calmed down - and ended up with the shakes.

People drank for confidence - and became afraid.

People drank to make conversation flow more easily - and the words came out slurred and incoherent.

People drank to diminish their problems - and saw them multiply.

People drank to cope with life - and invited death.
