The Meaning Of Wine
‘Only wine can soothe our unhappiness.’ This is a ancient Chinese saying. Wine is always regarded as a ’soul-pain killer’, but does it only mean that? I am quite an alcoholic although I never drink to get drunk, wine means lots for 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.
We drink when we feel excited. When we have things we want to celebrate, or when we are having parties, how can we not have a drink? Even if we don’t drink, we can still be very excited during these events, but I am quite sure that no one can doubt wine’s ability of boosting up the party to full swing!
Bravery comes, after we drink wine! Many actors in different types of movies drink before they fight, especially in Chinese films with involves martial arts. For many people, including me, when we are not brave enough to do something that we have no choice but to do it, we drink a bit to make ourselves be ．brave・.
Wine sometimes is Venus. One of my friend secretly fallen in love with a handsome man. She feels too shy to tell him her feeling. She was bit drunk one day when drinking with me and a few friends, and she called the guy to let him know everything. They are now a sweet couple!
We drink when we want to create a casual and friendly atmosphere. During many events, people have drinks to soothe the tense atmosphere and create a more friendly environment for people to know each other and make friends. Cocktail receptions, cocktail interviews, speed dating, orientation parties of universities and so on, they all have wine as a catalyst of fun-loving feeling. Without wine, the atmosphere will be much more stressful and tense.
Media and academy always go against drinking. Evidence shows that drinking too much really harms. Speed-driving, physical and mental illnesses and crimes may be brought about due to serious drinking. However, experiment proves that drinking a little bit wine every day can keep us more healthy.
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.
