What is it you say that your alcohol does for you? “It removes your inhibitions.” And what happens to you then? You act with abandon. What is it you abandon? What is it that inhibits you? The “norms” of human behavior. The very word implies that which is accepted
as “normal.” And so, you behave in a way
that is outside the parameters of what is acceptable, abandoning human
constructs of how one should or should not act.
And in those initial moments when the alcohol takes effect and you act
with abandon, what happens? You laugh
more. You smile more. You relax and are free of inhibitions.
Who put those inhibitions there? You can see where we are going. We are not advising you to drink
alcohol. Not at all. We are asking you to study your norms and ask
why you have accepted and imposed them.
If your norms cause you to cut yourself off from your fellow man and to
lessen your full enjoyment of existence, then we ask you to open your
heart. Using only the natural elixir of
Love, get drunk on living.
