It’s official – 3 million Ugandans drink alcohol excessively – according to a “rehabilitation organisation”! Wonder what it feels working with a rehabilitation organization. The agency, Serenity Centre for Alcoholics Rehabilitation, added that about 15% of the 31 million Ugandans are vulnerable to alcohol.
These bastards, I’ve never heard ‘o em! Never seen ‘em! What gives? How did they get this 15% thingy?
Henry Musitwa, an educator at the centre, explained that an alcohol addict is a person who cannot do without taking alcohol.
He however did not add, that the bigger the numbers he comes up with in this survey, the bigger the cheque that shall be sent by the “donor community”, to help solve this “large African crisis!”
“It is not about how much a person takes, but such a person depends on alcohol. It might be one bottle of beer a day, but he cannot do without it,” Musitwa told The New Vision. The person’s health also becomes compromised by alcohol. One such symptom is uncontrollable shaking of hands.”
Musitwa also did not add, that he has also set up a center to treat “food addiction”, should have said something like “it does not matter how much a person eats, but such a person depends entirely on food, he just can’t do without it. His health becomes compromised, and one symptom is that the person gains weight and is usually seen actively participating in all aspects of life”
Kalema made the remarks on Tuesday while receiving a donation of 80 mattresses from Euroflex to assist the centre.
I knew it, I knew it……it had something to do with a donation, sly bastards!
He noted that excessive consumption of alcohol had driven people into poverty and unemployment.
He just fell short of adding, that very minor factors like corruption, population explosion, poor infrastructure for education and various other small factors were HUGELY overshadowed by drinking one beer a day when it came t causes of unemployment!
He noted that men are more addicted than women, particularly men with responsibilities.
Matter of fact, he just saw 3 top level managers with a large telecom company walk into his organization, seeking help with their shaking hands. It was a way bigger number than the chaps he left playing cards at that container near his home, while they smoked some strangely looking plants!
Kalema urged the Government to fight poverty in order to stop more people from becoming alcoholics.
We thought the bugger said alcoholism causes poverty! Well, he got his donation, “so what the heck if I contradict myself…just a little!”
“Very poor people and low-income earners drink more than the well-off people. Some men cannot provide for their families and thus get stress. They resort to drinking,” he said.
This guy!!!! Kumbe we thought “people with responsibilities” were more addicted!! This chap is definitely a recovering addict, and he is drunk as he speaks!
“It is easy. When people start coming home late or dodge you when you talk to them, then suspect,” he said.
Usually, it’s when they have our dimes, that they always dodge us, those lumpens!! So u just think they are drunk? Ok, we shall report them to you…Sir!
Euroflex provided about sh12m worth of aid to the centre located in Bwebajja in Wakiso district. The centre can admit 25 patients. It is supported by a foreign firm, Masean Cara of Ireland, and the Irish embassy
Now we understand where this ad was coming from!! We were scared shitless, kumbe it was just an ad! But how it ended up as a headline in the highest selling Ug daily – they probably paid Sh 5m of the 12! As a 2 beer a day drinker, am definitely checking in!
(On a totally stray note, ZSamm, i just finished ALL the Orange dimes on "Dana Gilmore", a pint on me, only one a day, forget this new vision chap)
