They say drinking is bad for health and I know they are right..

Yet I am here drinking trying to reduce the span of my life...

It makes me burn inside and flush my face yet I find comfort and lively in drinking...My brands are from beer to vodka...Sinchang can make up  for the desperate situation...when did I ever start drinking?..I know not...may be the reason for drinking was tasting and now I drink for soothing my mind, to overcome stress, forget a pain and relaxation after a tiring work..

But my message to you folks..."Don't drink!!!"..

Cheers
