To Kir, or Kir Royale?
Despite being the plebeian I am, I have been fortunate enough to have traveled well-beyond where I was born here in the United States of America. In fact, I can't actually remember the state where I was born. I was too young, and we moved when I was six months old due to my father being re-stationed. He was in the military.

I am a glass of Merlot. And what they never tell you about us is that we go on dates, too. The suspense begins in the bottle. We never know which molecule of us will be chosen to go on the date, Poured out in a hurried storm that resembles an avalanche of jewels, or a rope of silk untwisting before your eyes. You might say that, in the bottle, we belong to a collective consciousness, a single unified awareness, and we don’t really know Ourselves or who We are UNTIL we are poured out, until we take the shape of the glass — until we soak up the shimmer of the décor, the swirl of the waitstaff and the roar of a restaurant rush, and become an I, a Me, a Self.

How Alcohol is Effecting Your Brain
For many, effects on the brain resulting from alcohol might be dizziness, slurred speech, or impaired memory in the short-term. However, these symptoms can affect them in the long-term. The brain, which is the most delicate organ in the human body and throughout one’s lifetime, goes through five different stages both physically and mentally. While this organ physically continues to grow until age 11 for girls and 14 for boys, it continues to mature mentally (and emotionally) until mid to late 20’s. The prefrontal cortex of the brain plays a major role during this stage of life regarding decision-making, especially regarding alcohol. More specifically, this body part is responsible for planning, prioritizing, and controlling impulses, according to the National Institute of Mental Health. If making responsible choices, one can allow these functions to consume alcohol while living a healthy life.
