As the name speak for itself the word is of Andalusian Arabic origin (al Kuhl) means body eating spirit.
Alcohol and Negativity
It is used to extract the soul essence of any entity. Whenever we consume alcohol or do any kind of immoral act the evilness inside that entity prevail thus being more superior it drives us towards evil deeds and make the body to commit such crimes and sins that create violence in the society.
It’s just like when a body is possessed by an evil spirit and it has so much dominance on that body that the man has no control over himself forcing him to harm the neighboring entities. Just like that when you drink alcohol, your blacked out, now the body is under the influence of something evil and thus you can hurt anyone near you.
.
This Alcohol extracts the very essence of the soul and makes us loose our natural jurisdiction, unable to distinguish between good and evil, in the state of drunkenness, we can’t differentiate between right and wrong and become more vigorous causing harm to the people around us.
Now will you still be addicted to such deleterious toxin? It’s a slow poison feeding you from inside. You still debate that it only harms when consumed in immense amount? or that you quaff it to relax, socialize, or to celebrate?
Do We Require Alcohol In Our Diet?
You should know it’s a drug and a depressant and we don’t require alcohol to stay alive. It doesn’t need to be a part of our diet and the potential to become addictive of such toxin is possible to anyone.
According to the National Institute of Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism (NIAAA), in the United States, 17.6 million people — about one in every 12 adults — abuse alcohol or are alcohol-dependent. Each year, an estimated 88,000 people — 62,000 men and 26,000 women — die from alcohol-related causes.
Of course there are some benefits of alcohol but the harmful and adverse causes outweigh and exceeds those few advantages.
Now if I discuss those diseases caused by alcohol. It may shock you a bit but it will help you understand, why is it called ‘the body eating spirit’ ?
