Drinking vs Gambling

[IjawMan]

Alcohol is a huge industry that will find its consumers one way or another and does not need advertising. But games do need advertising, especially when it comes to gambling establishments that require advertising. And this advertising will be everywhere and even teenagers will see it, so yes, addiction among people is growing, but it seems that there is no way to avoid it.

Gambling industry is also a massive industry with it's online gambling platforms it doesn't make it any harder for people to get along with it from their comfort zone. There are people that will prefer gambling to drinking alcohol due to their health interest.  Both context are addictive if managed with wrecklessness and from what I have seen, there are more gambling addicts than there are alcoholics.

Alcohol or any drugs not administered by a profesional could be always a serious danger for people using it.
In gambling = You must be always concentrated and focused in what you're doing otherwise it would be very easy lose money or just...not win!
If you're playing for "fun" ok this doesn't matter. Otherwise you must pay attention...

Yes, you are right, if someone drinks alcohol for fun, then it is okay. But if a person, even though he is responsible, enters into gambling after drinking alcohol, then of course it is not possible to lose his money, it will be more. And I think that no responsible or experienced person will ever enter into gambling after consuming alcohol and leaving himself out of control. Of course, if a person drinks alcohol, he will lose his own control and what he will do at that time will not be in his control and here he can become destitute. That is why I think that one should never gamble or trade or do any business after drinking alcohol, it is an important matter for every person.

There are advertisements in both fields and it's simply this situation that also affects young people, they should ban them in certain events but I understand that there is too much money at stake and everyone goes on without caring, I say they should do like cigarettes, ban advertising and that's it

Gambling to me is still far better than drinking, but it must be a responsible one, dinking too i s not a bad thing to do together with gambling, but we must also not be an addicted drinker to the extent of becoming a drunkard, everything follows the pattern of doing it moderately for our own benefits, if you can combine the two altogether, then make sure that you apply high level of discipline in doing them in other to enjoy them at last.

Why is it that alcohol ads are everywhere and they are easily bought in stores nationwide with only a warning of only drinking moderately and yet gambling is not allowed to be the same?

In roads, there are ads of alcohol. Where funnily enough is you shouldn't drink in. While driving. But still there are big ads and multiple ones in roads about alcohol and the warning that says Drink Responsibly. Does that one warning make it safer?

Why can't we just do the same with gambling? Alcohol consumption is extremely risky not only to the person consuming it but to the people around him. There have been so many cases of crimes due to alcohol consumption. Many people's health destroyed. So what makes it ok for alcohol ads to continue in public but not gambling?

Alcohol roots a person and forces him to behave differently and it is very harmful to the body. If someone drinks and drives, he may fail to control the car and have an accident. Which is a threat to his own life and at the same time can take away the lives of ordinary people. But when someone gambles, he only suffers financial losses and sometimes gets financial benefits, everything of which is limited to himself and his responsibility is his own. That is why there is a warning message in alcohol but not in gambling. However, since gambling can cause a lot of loss along with profit, if a warning message is given here too, it can be a big benefit for casino businesses and influencers to avoid responsibility for themselves.

Everything which is excessive would be always that bad on which this isnt only on that speaking about on alcohol but in all things that we've been taking into or been dealing or doing into. Everything should be that in moderation because actually alcohol intake is actually that needed up by the body on which there's a specific threshold for that on which this is something understandable but since people do wanted up on excessive manner or they do forget those limits then expect on what would be the result. The only issue on here is that on the time that you've been that become addicted into it then you do become alcoholic specially if you do already love on drinking then there's always the tendency when it comes into this aspect and this could be affecting your body negatively in long runs and we do know that health is wealth and once you do have that ill body then this is where you would be starting to have that regret.

Speaking about gambling addiction then this is something an addiction that it could cause up that total devastation then it comes to finances and this is something that we do need up to avoid as much as possible.
Regrets would be always at the end and you would be that starting out to make up some actions when the damage has already been done. Always be considerate and mindful into the actions that you are taking and do things on which you do seem that it wont be affecting you negatively.

Well, both gambling and drinking alcohol to be more previse is not bad, but only if it's done in moderation and responsibly as well, people gamble for the fun of it, not necessarily as a means of making money, this is good because someone who gambles solely for fun will hardly over gamble to the extent of getting addicted, but those gambling as a means of earning money are the ones who easily get overwhelmed with it and eventually become addicts.

Same goes with drinking as well, drinking in moderation helps, not just in the area finance alone but also in the area of health, there are so many types go diseases and health issue that is associated with drinking too much, so aside finance, it's still very important for us to practice responsible drinking to avoid health issues.

I'm not entirely sure that this statement is correct, as gambling only began to gain popularity recently, at the beginning of this century, while the alcohol industry has been developing massively for centuries and has been around for ages. Therefore, I think that the second type is more prevalent, but in reality, it doesn't matter at all, because both are problems that cannot be solved.

If you lose a bet maybe the bet worth up to $500, wouldn't you assume that it would have been better for you to use the money and drink and also buy drinks for your friends than to have lost the money to gambling. We do regret our actions most time when we lose money making us think of the odd way we could have expect the money that would have been quite appreciated.

You will understand what it means by losing bets more when you do stake them with huge amounts of money. Gambling is not for those that are always complaining about their loses everytime they endeavor to fund their account so that can enable them to gamble.

If we compare the addiction from the both of them no one is good, the both can damage one's life and the both also needs discipline to control them.

I won't say drinking or gambling is bad but the way how people handles it makes to become bad for people which can lead in damaging ones life and which will also deprive one from meeting their life goals . Most times this addiction also affect one's career,  so one needs to be very discipline and not be controlled by gambling.

as many things in life the difference between the medicine and the poison is in the dose
we don't know what is the correct dose of gambling for each individual and this is not something that can be decided beforehand, it'll vary from person to person
but we do know that too much gambling will be harmful

same thing with alcohol

[Jewan420]

Maybe gambling is more harmful than drinking. Both drinking and gambling are harmful to an individual and a family and can destroy a family. In this case, gambling is more harmful. Because if you have a good source of income and you have a lot of money, then you are only harming yourself by drinking. Your family will not be affected much if you continue to drink. But gambling addiction is something that can drain even a lot of money and turn you into a pauper in a few minutes.

I don't know how effective this argument is and whether it is the case everywhere. But from my point of view, it is forbidden to promote both gambling and drinking in public. Even your social culture may differ. In some places, promoting drinking is more difficult than promoting gambling.

With the logs of money the governments makes from both products it going to be difficult for them to accept the idea of banning. Ban on them will be seriously in those Muslim belief countries for both alcohol and gamble is a haram in their religion and the government knows it. While in other countries the government can display a detached attitude to it and not ban it completely.

Usually, it is thought that those people who are gamblers typically drink too, and hence it is just a marketing tactic. This is more related to physical gambling. The casino will keep alcohol and other such things so that those gamblers who have the urge to drink can buy the alcohol during or after playing the games.

This is another way for the casino to earn money because they would sell different brands of alcohol at high rates and the gamblers will have no choice but to buy them and enjoy drinking while gambling.

It has long been proven that alcohol only worsens our emotional state, which means that in the game we can do all sorts of tricks with our money, even lose very quickly by betting on one red number, for example, in roulette. And even if someone tells me something like you can win this way, then I will answer that you can, but only then the player will not stop and will continue to play until he has money in his account, he will simply want more fun, so that it is endless. If he were sober, then maybe he would take some part and leave to continue later.

The influence of alcohol is very drastic, we are people who can admit that when it comes to gambling and alcohol it is a very easy combination to make us lose money, I personally have always said something, while we are under the effects of alcohol we can do stupid things that we will Obviously regret the next day or when they tell us what we did, that is why going to the casino where you risk money and drinking is not a very intelligent thing to do.

it is
not even talking about the longterm effects and how bad it is for liver health
on the short term it will impact reflexes, decision making, balance, I don't really see a good reason to drink alcohol anymore and even if I'm drinking it's better to drink just 1 dose and that's it

putting it together with gambling makes even less sense since it'll impact your possibility of making a profit

I recently thought about how difficult it is for those gamblers who want to end their passion for gambling and find a new hobby, leaving this stage of life behind.
Those online casinos that are not very conscientious often buy advertising from many Internet sites. And now, when someone clicks on a link, two windows open at the same time, the desired page and in the background a window with an advertisement for an online casino opens. At the same time, it has a soundtrack. And if I were a gambler who gave a beer and wanted to stop thinking about gambling, this would infuriate me, since such advertising can become a trigger.

maybe they can try to use a technique like people who smoke who try to imagine the worst possibility ever to help them picture themselves in a bad situation, a situation that is worse than the act of addiction itself that probably brings them pleasure, so someone who smoke could imagine themselves needing a device just to be able to breath, someone who gambles a lot could imagine themselves completely broke, so forth and so on
or try to stop their impulse by doing something else like when smokers drink a big cup of water to avoid smoking another cigar

No doubt, combining gambling with alcohol is like making a  "A Recipe for Disaster". When one take alcohol, this means he is out of his mind and then when he gamble, he is bound to take bad decisions. When a gambler is drink he is more likely to chase losses, bet beyond his limits or ignore odds and take bets without any planning. Drunk gamblers may take irrational risks (for example "double or nothing" spirals) compared to other sensible players.

Self-control must be maintained while gambling, because gambling is a game of control, here the person who can control himself and stop at the right time, he truly wins, but when a gambler drinks drugs and gambles while drunk, he will not be able to control himself in any way, because in a drunken state he will not be able to recognize himself, controlling himself is a very big thing, so drinking drugs and gambling at the same time will definitely bring disaster, this is definitely a very wrong thing, you should keep yourself away from it in any way, and drugs should be completely ignored and in the case of gambling, you can gamble while keeping yourself in control.

I know not many sites where two windows can open when the second opens with an advertisement of the casino, and it seems to me that you just need to stop visiting such sites. )) In fact, when you are under the influence of alcohol, the responsibility will decrease and you are able to make more stupid things. Even if you are a responsible player, then when you can make a bet that you would not commit if you were sober, or may not have made such a large bet.
