It is one of my long-held character flaws that I still enjoy from time to time: Making provocative statements to get attention. This time, it could save a life.
I kid you not.
This new blog o' mine is only read by a few friends so far (SO FAR, I say -- my moniker isn't Big Dreamer for nothing), but if even one person takes note and then takes appropriate action, I figure it's well worth the risk of raising a hackle or two, if only temporarily.
Men and women are not equal.
Equally endowed by their Creator with certain inalienable rights and all that jazz? Certainly. Equally important to the survival of the human race? Assuredly. Equally deserving of comparable pay for comparable work? No question whatsoever.
(Hackles lowering yet?)
Okay, here's the payoff: Alcohol destroys women faster than it destroys men.
Consider: Women metabolize alcohol differently from men and it can result in a higher blood alcohol level for the same amount of alcohol intake.
Consider: It takes more time and more alcohol for a man to develop liver disease than for a woman.
Consider: Women drinkers are more likely to develop alcoholic hepatitis, cirrhosis, and breast cancer than women who don't drink.
Consider: Drinking increases the incidence of women suffering miscarriages.
Consider: Women are more likely to die in alcohol-related car crashes than men. The deadly beat goes on.
If you love a woman who drinks, click this, baby.

Nicely put my friend.... I believe you were moved to write this for a reason.... I pray that "SHE" finds it!
Ah Glenn, your huge heart is showing. But no, this was written for any woman who is a problem drinker and was inspired by the article which is linked in the final sentence.
