Let’s talk about Alcohol ; blogmas 2

They say , too much of something is poisonous. Too cliche’ I know, but is it? The rate of alcoholism in Kenya is something we should talk about in depth but nobody wants that conversation. It is quite interesting when everyone especially on TikTok says that you can never out do a Kenyan in drinking alcohol. We have a high tolerance, is it?

Well ,drink if you may, my concern comes when ladies are drinking themselves out. The number of graphic images and videos being passed around online of ladies blacked out, being raped, physically abused makes me ick, makes me worry and even get afraid. It’s so disturbing to see a lady when she cannot even walk, looking all dirty and buzzed beyond.

Well, maybe I’m being harsh, I might not understand what they are going through,but ,come what may,it is never a reason to embarrass and disrespect yourself like that. As a matter of fact drinking yourself out because you are stressed leads to more stress maybe even worsen the situation that it was already, so yes it’s not an excuse.

You see, there is nothing wrong in having a glass or two as long as it is within your limits and with moderation and decorum. But that is not usually the case around here in the 254, maybe for a few. It is the holiday season and what that usually means, it’s drinking season,I tend to disagree. It doesn’t make sense when you are going broke, lack focus, get abused, sleep in random guys houses or the club, getting embarrassed in the name of December.

My point for this blogmas 2, is a key reminder to most especially my ladies who are here, know your limits, we don’t wish to see those videos and images on the socials. They are quite disturbing and hurting. Have some money for yourself to get a cab , respect yourself, sleep in if you must. But by all means enjoy yourself,be cautious the world out here is not forgiving, and remember nothing is for free, question twice if it is coming for free.

  1. I totally agree with the piece. Ladies we have to get some dignity and up our principles. Let it be a big deal to get drank and lose our consciousness. It is a high time for you to mind your image.
