In Vino Veritas

In vino veritas, in wine theirs truth and the reason why I drink it is only time I evaluate myself. I can express my feelings to others with no hesitation, I can speak whatever I want to speak, and do things in normal base I can’t do.

Through out history drinking has always been part of our customs, but according to Nick Joaquin “We have lost not only the custom of wine at meals but also our ability to hold our liquor, which may be a natural consequence.” We became drunkards; we drink heavily and it became habitual.

This is my escape to the real world as I drown my self in alcohol. To forget I want to forget, to remember who, when and what to remember. To cover my agony in this world and believe me, every man has his secret sorrows, which the world knows not; and often times we call a man cold when he is only sad. A man may surely be allowed to take a glass of wine by his own fireside.

It is risk we always take while we drink. Alcoholism can be and can’t be control and we became dramatic for we talk about our grief, we became poetic for we sing the song of bliss and misery, we became dreamer for we dream our tomorrow. Wine can make good best friends and lovers for in this we say the least revolting ways and Wine can make worst enemy too.

Wine is one of the most civilized things in the world and one of the most natural things of the world that has been brought to the greatest perfection, and it offers a greater range for enjoyment and appreciation than, possibly, any other purely sensory thing. In wine rational reasoning, debate, intellectual sharing and all issue in the world we can thrash out.

What I like about drinking is we convey the true us, the true sentiments we like to express. To converse other opinion and point of view and knowledge we might not know yet. Wine can instigate a good rapport which creates a bond between bottle, drinker and other person. when you drink alcohol you tend to get loose and sometimes say things you normally wouldn't say had you not imbibed.
