What Wine Means To You?
“Nothing can better soothe unhappiness than drinking wine.” Ancient Chinese people believe in this saying, modern Chinese too. But wine does not only mean a pain-killer. As a wine-lover, although I never let myself get drunk, I think wine means a lot to me.
Often, we drink when we feel depressed. When I feel very unhappy, I like to drink a bit. Wine cannot help solve problem, but when I drink a bit, I gradually feel a bit dizzy and too tired to think too much about the trouble. Wine can help me get a little rest from my stressful life, and this rest helps me to get back my energy to work and to tackle the problems.
To gain excitement is another reason that makes us drink. Wine appears nearly in every celebrations and parties. Surely, even if we don・t drink, we can still have a great time during parties, but obviously, wine can really create a more exciting atmosphere and makes the people feel more passionate!
We drink to make ourselves be brave. In many movies, the actors drink before they fight, this appears most in Chinese martial art movies. For many people, and for me, we drink when we have something we want to do but dare not to do usually. There are many daily examples to prove that.
I have a very good example to share. My friend loves a handsome guy for a long period of time but she dared not to let him know. One day we went for happy hour and after drinking some wine, she was so brave to call the guy and let him know how much she adored him. Now they are going to get engaged soon! How lovely wine is!
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.
Drinking is not equivalent to errors, what really counts is how much you drink. No one should ever rely on wine to kill pain, physically or mentally, as they are just ‘pain-soother’ but not problem solution. Drink to make wine be good for you, but not to ruin you.
