There is only one true heroism in this world, and that is knowing the truth about life and still loving it.

Just watched the movie The Alcohol Project. There is a theory that the blood alcohol concentration in the human body should not be lower than 0.05%, and the appropriate alcohol concentration will help people to be more calm and relaxed when dealing with things. So after the four teachers tried this theory, they also got some very good positive feedback on life. However, this has also developed the habit of drinking alcohol whenever they feel uncomfortable at work or in life, and they also use the example of Churchill and other historical celebrities who also like to drink to comfort themselves. Many celebrities have the habit of drinking. Just started watching At the time, I actually thought this theory was very interesting. I also tried to drink two sips of the packaged wine sent from home. I don’t know if it was a psychological problem. I can indeed feel that a moderate amount of alcohol makes me more relaxed and I can concentrate. Play games, watch videos, write copy. Maybe it's inaccurate, but it's the feeling of being able to concentrate. I was even a little excited about the theory, and I started wondering if I was going to do a year-long video about how my life changed after I put the theory into practice. I'm even looking forward to seeing how this change will transform my life. But as the viewing continued (because I watched this movie at mealtime, on and off). The four protagonists also found the problem. In order to verify the authenticity of the theory, they began to not hold back the temptation (or that wonderful feeling) after feeling the benefits of alcohol. I think most people should have no way to refuse this The temptation of sensory stimulation will want to try to increase the value after eating some of the sweetness. They start to challenge the limit of blood alcohol concentration, and they start to drink hard, but the reality is always not as expected. Alcoholism has had bad side effects in their lives, and alcohol has stalled their lives, stiffened family relationships, and made it harder to maintain jobs. I also began to reflect on my previous thoughts, if the right amount of alcohol does make people easier, this theory is true, but if we start to develop this habit, start to rely on alcohol to inspire our work and life. Add interesting words. If one day when your alcohol intake improves, the blood alcohol concentration of 0.05% can no longer satisfy you, and it cannot inspire you to burst out. What will you do? Do you start drinking more like the protagonists? It will undoubtedly lead you to a point of no return to alcoholism. Or turn to other items that stimulate your physical senses, such as stimulants and other drugs. When you think about it, it's scary.

Just as the protagonist 4 stopped the practical research on this theory after tasting the bitter consequences of alcohol, their conclusion is as follows: The theoretical practical research on verifying the blood alcohol concentration of 0.05% has ended here, because it brings With great negative social influence and danger of alcoholism comes.

Just watched the whole movie, it's funny how the whole movie ended with a grad party full of booze and dynamic dancing, which changed my mind about alcohol a little bit, maybe alcohol It is something that we cannot avoid in social life. Some moderate amount of alcohol can indeed relieve our stress and let our senses be temporarily entertained to escape the stress of real life, which is good. It can make us temporarily forget those depressing failures in our lives, but also because the effects of alcohol are temporary. It also reminds us that what we are doing is a long-term tug of war with reality, we must find a more suitable way to face our own life, accept our imperfect self and still believe that we have the ability to overcome the difficulties in life predicament. "

As Romain Rolland said: There is only one true heroism in this world, that is to recognize the truth of life and still love it.

Perhaps the protagonist's final leap is not only embracing his old friend, but also embracing life!
