Drinking vs Gambling

[Cgrexp]

Alcohol comes with a lot of problems health wise and aside that when you see people that are addicted they are so in responsible but when it comes to gambling it does not have any health challenge so  as for me if am to choose am going to choose gambling compare to drinking. And the worst gambling can do is to make you broke and when you get help that way you will be able to maintain good finances status and when it comes to that  the only thing that is making a lot of people become addicted is greed if they can fight against greedy they you can gamble clean.
As much as addiction is bad, gambling is better because anything that has to affect your health I don't really fancy the idea so there are factors people need to look at before they can start anything, because you need to understand the Implications of what you are doing. So we don't have to face the consequences of there decisions, it is very important to know. So that if it is something you can deal with because, some people are just influenced and they don't know what exactly what they are getting into.

Alcohol directly harms physical health. However, the harm of gambling is both financial and psychological. The main reason for the addiction of most gamblers to gambling is the hope of getting double the money in a short time and as a result of this hope they bet repeatedly but most of them face financial losses. In gambling, a person can face some problems in some time which is not the case with alcohol. Again, all the physical harm caused by alcohol is not the case with gambling. The harm of alcohol and gambling is different. However, neither of them is beneficial in a person's life, rather both are more likely to cause harm and when someone is addicted to both of them together, it has a terrible effect on his life.

If we can maintain alcohol tolerance in our body, maybe just to increase adrenaline, we can try it, but when our tolerance level is poor, don't try this because we may do it unconsciously and make us lose money due to gambling.

That's the control you should always have in fact, I have that control The bad part starts when you get really dizzy, and if that moment arrives, you should immediately stop drinking alcohol It doesn't matter if people start asking why you stopped drinking or something, you don't pay attention to it Because there are people who start joking about why you stopped drinking , you ignore them It's a thousand times better to have control over ourselves and our actions.

That's why I say it depends on the gambler themselves because after all, everyone has a different level of tolerance and enjoyment because there will definitely be those who combine these two types where they gamble while drinking because when one of them is removed it will make them a little off balance and the fun that is done.

But for me personally I prefer not to do it because for me who easily loses control when drinking it is clear that it will be very bad for myself which makes me prefer to skip that part and do it one by one without having to do it together.
It all depends on us because we realize that everything has consequences and I don't want the consequences to be much bigger when I lose my identity when drinking and then it makes a bad condition with the gambling that is done.

Yeah, it can be very difficult to control yourself in gambling if you're already drunk.

Mixing two addictions can lead to very difficult problems to solve in the future.

You might wake up the next day with a hangover and all your money gone.

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...

Professional gamblers know what to do when situation arise either winning or losing in the gambling, for those taking high drugs, it will not change anything in your gambling but you have to apply your common sense to overcome the situation,  the money you are using to buy high drugs to try your luck it will reach you to gamble long  if you can stop spending money on drugs and switch to some new strategies because every gamblers use different strategies to access their luck, gamble for fun or an investment you must know your limit because some gamblers don't know their limit to apply stop not to lose more, but those who don't pay attention to it will continue to regret for their losses.

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?

The key distinction is on how the activities of each activity impact on society and how the governments determine to manage that impact. Alcohol is an aspect of life in just about all nations, and thus governments can hardly prohibit alcohol advertisements, despite the fact that it leads to health issues and safety hazards. Gambling as a cultural practice is less accepted and the risks which include addiction, the loss of money, debt and family issues are not conspicuous yet may be very serious. Regulators believe their task of prevention of gambling problems is easier, as they make strict control over advertising whereas in the case of alcohol they are told to drink responsibly and left to deal with it on their own. Alcohol is not less harmful, it is merely the same feeling, and gambling requires even stricter regulations to ensure that individuals would not suffer not only money loss but also psychic harm.

Of course, the negative impacts of gambling are more financial and psychological, and that's real. But don't forget that excessive alcohol consumption can also be damaging and increase the risk of financial and psychological damage. This is always correlated with someone gambling beyond their limits and drinking alcohol, even if alcohol itself is considered a normal beverage for them.

Addiction is indeed very difficult to avoid and treat once it becomes ingrained, with persistent expectations leading to the substance, and ultimately, it becomes impossible to stop. I agree that the negative physical effects of alcohol don't occur with gambling, but its effects can alter decision-making at any time when someone becomes intoxicated due to excessive drinking while gambling.

Gambling and Drinking are very separate terms that also relate in many ways. Drinking is more social and sometimes done for fun unlike gambling which is solely a survival strategy in most cases. However the two terms could be addictive in their own ways and when a person is addicted to any of them, it also exposes him more to the other. When a person gets too addicted to gambling that he can't stay without gambling, he keeps selling off properties to gamble and when he keeps loosing, he falls back to drinking for consolation and this goes on and on while someone who's addicted to drinking also falls back to more regular gambling to get money he feels will be enough to drink. When you see someone who's involved in both gambling and drinking, he's either in a beer parlour or a gambling house at all time.

Gambling affects both psychology, financial and social life of a person while drinking also affects financial and social life of the person in addition to health risks. Excessive drinking affects the liver and also the brain and other body parts too. Gambling too can cause heart attack when a person looses too big to bear.

When a gambler gambles while drunk, he will lose control of himself, because then he will not be able to do proper research. And without proper research, the gambler will be more sure to lose, because the person is addicted to both sides and he will waste his money for no reason. One should never gamble while drunk, whereas if a gambler loses money, he will not think twice about recovering his money later and if he joins in the bet, he will lose all his money. Gambling while drunk is not a solution in any way.

Both gambling and alcohol are risky, but if you're comparing the two, In my opinion gambling should be encourage rather than alcohol because alcohol causes us to act foolishly, it's very harmful to our health, and excessive drinking leads to misbehavior and accidents when driving. Many youths turned to be unresponsive due to excessive drinking, and some married men beat and maltreat their wives under the influence of alcohol. Gambling also carries high risks, because I have seen many youths getting addicted to it. But I still consider it safer than alcohol.

Alcohol taking involves one person while gambling involves more than one person which can be monitored or seen when gambling, It has a specific location at which you go to gamble but alcohol is everywhere and can be bought without the notice of any one the same thing is happening now in online gambling but to an extent because you are only hiding from your family members not but can be traced through online , when gambling problems comes, it does not only affects the individual but the society at large and it's process to addiction involves a lot of financial aspect that also affects other lives, but alcohol addiction affects only the addict and when intoxicated it's for a while the person will be relieved except he goes back to it, alcohol addict can easily be managed compared to gambling addict .

Gambling addict is a continuous process and the solution is rehabilitation centers.

You might wake up the next day with a hangover and all your money gone.

Because you won't even be aware of what you're doing, especially if you're gambling, it could lead to a much more complicated situation.
But this kind of thing can be not a problem if we are ready to lose our money in gambling because that risk is the most likely thing to happen for me So when we want to gamble in this condition then maybe it's not a problem as long as we don't think too far to return the loss in gambling at a later time because it is assumed that we are just in a condition where fun is what we want to look for and gambling while drunk can be done for fun which is much more interesting even though the next day we will feel dizzy with what happened.

Why achole ads is plenty in the streets is because achole is good in the system but not being an addicted to it ,they do bet ads as well maybe you don't always sees it but they are their all the place,achole ads is their and betting ads is also their.

I sincerely feel sorry for those gamblers who also enjoy drinking while gambling (and often, brick-and-mortar casinos serve alcohol for free in their establishments), because it's not just their families or children who suffer from this.
Unfortunately, this greatly impacts the future generation of children who deal with gambling problems.
This type of drinking gambler simply needs to understand that if gambling doesn't bring them enough pleasure, and alcohol doesn't bring them enough pleasure, then they shouldn't combine them, but rather come up with a new entertainment that's healthier and less dangerous.

[NurseHub]

I have not seen any resistance to gambling ads in my country, just like they advertise alcohol, they do the same for gambling no different.

Drinking is never something not to advertise to me, because it's fun stuff for me, it can only turn to addiction and become abusive if some overdo it. This is the same as gambling.

Gambling is for fun and should be advertised, but not with that easy win way of it, making people believe they can stake all they have and get it back. That's absolute deception and should be worked on or ignored by gamblers. ‎

In a real world casino they usually try to bring the two together, as in, they might give you free drinks or make drinks very cheap.

In the end the gambler will start drinking and be more risky with their money.

It's something the casinos know well and they know they will make more money in the end.

That's why they say everyone is different each person's personality is something we must always manage Personality is something we all have very different personalities, and there's something we must consider, which is awareness and what we must do to avoid losing so much money, I agree that it's up to us.
