Universal Drink Alcohol or Water?

This is a very easy question to answer.

It is certainly not water.

It is definitely alcohol.

I could not find an accurate figure for requirement of water for a day for an adult.

Nobody except some guys who are told by folklore that one should drink certain number of glasses of water, no adult has a clue or taught correct physiology in their Huentire life of intake of the water requirement.

We drink a substitute instead, tea or coffee or a beverage that has caffeine in it for central nervous system stimulation by habit.

Not for water requirement at all.

The water is the basis of cellular life.

Fortunately all food we eat has some water and their combustion produce water of metabolism and our kidney has the capacity to conserve when we are not drinking and when we sleep.

But I find man always (this applies to a certain percentage of women) have few liters of alcohol down diluted with some water.

What I find interesting is the minimum even in Bangladesh (country with lowest intake) is one liter of pure alcohol per person.

Which is a colossal.amount when multiplied by the total population.

I find it interesting Iranians drink as much as Russians.

It is said Belarusians drink the most but their officials figures are scaled down.

Maldiwians drink more simply due to lack of water supply.

Come to Ceylonese they drink about 15 times as Bangladeshis and only about 5 times less than Russians.

I expected the Africans to drink more but it is true of only a few countries  like Zambia, Nigeria and South Africa.

Myanmar tops India and Indians drink (unlike in Tamilnadu films)  far less amount than Ceylonese.

My gut feeling was that rich and relatively happy countries consume more but they are less than Muslim countries put together and Malaysia is an exception.

I guessed Singaporean drinks more but I was wrong.

They have no time to drink.

Except New Zealand most of the Western counties drink an average more than Asians.

The Australians are heavy drinkers but it is coming down unlike in UK and USA.

My analysis is where there are dictators running the countries affairs, the alcohol consumption is high.

Myanmar is a classic example and some Latin American countries with dictators running the affairs are close allies of alcohol.

A point what our Buddhist monks have failed to grasp is when there is a dictator running, the alcohol consumption goes up significantly and rapidly.

So if we want to drop alcohol consumption democracy should go hand in hand not other way round.

If our alcohol consumption goes up by the next election do not blame the drinker but the ruler or rulers.

The corollary is for a dictator to succeed the country should streamline and jack up alcohol production at an affordable price, the variety does not matter but the production rate.

I gather Americans are drinking more after the election since the enthusiasm and the steam have run down and furloughing is through.

President Biden has to make sure alcohol production goes unhampered during his term office and he will be remembered for life if he cuts down taxes on alcohol in spite of medical advice and fail to keep 90% of the promises.

That also make Republicans to drink more and lose track of elections and for his successor to have a smooth riding.

If he follows doctors advice on alcohol and the numerous medical legislatures brought in front of him for approval, he is bound fail.

Just pretend you are absorbing them in good spirit.

See what happened to Donald Trump, mainly due to Anthony Fauci's insinuations.

Writing Space

This is to highlight the features of Writing Space Writer.

Since I see nobody helping AbiWotd to come out of the woods with a new life or rebirth, I was looking for a Writer package and I found a match.

I am busy finishing the first 10 chapters on Puppy Linux but I should write a piece here to give the credits to where it belongs.

Long time ago a writer developed a Writer Linux Live CD and I still have a copy of it's 32 bit version.

It worked only a Live Session and could not save a copy of the document one was working with.

In any case it went defunct and this is long before I started  writing as a habit.

Nevertheless, I was put off.

I downloaded several writer applications and before I could finish a page the guys asking me for hefty subscription.

I am a writer who works on a low budget both in time and money.

I am on a long holiday extended by Coronavirus incarceration.

I am not new to writing and I have already found a good ally by the way of Grammerly typeface.

Finding a Writer application not intrusive was illusive, till I found Writing Space.

1. It gives you a neat clean and open slate to thumb down.

In my case Index Down.

2. It is not intrusive.

3. It gives you 10 or more chapters to work with.

4. It has an Android Application front.

5. It let's you share.

6. It let's you publish immediately.

7. Editing the typos can be done at any time.

8. Remove or up or down the chapters as you wish.

What else a writer needs.

I think I will come out of slumber and finish my Puppy Linux (before I get on with the jobs being outstanding and halted by my self intentions).

I have used another writer and I have to use another application to read a list of Puppy derivatives, I made.

Then I got a guy from ClickUp application sending me daily emails reminding me of a job I never started, which I delete without reading.

Mind you, I start the day with Spark which does a good house cleaning job upfront.

Then Spike which integrate my emails and send junk to thrash without archiving.

I have looked at my emails and found my first attempt to hold a Linux Forum or gathering in Kandy which became a mighty flop due to interference by Guys paid by Microsoft.

If not for that sloppy job by Microsoft, I would NOT have taken Linux to heart and would have been VERY happy with Puppy Linux alone.

Always remember business can backfire on it's own.

Example is Windows.
