Manda:There Is Too Much Careless Drinking Among Women
Urologist Francis Manda says there is too much careless drinking among women in Zambia.
He said some Zambian women had lost their cultural values because of the manner in which they conducted themselves at functions such as bridal ceremonies.
“Some women embarrass themselves in the presence of their children by shamelessly drinking to the point where they urinate in their pants or make arrangements with their boyfriends to pick them up, cheating their husbands that they are still attending the function,” he said.
“At functions such as kitchen parties, that is where a lot of alcohol is taken. Especially some married women because they feel that they are enjoying their freedom of being free, and they don’t just consume one type of alcohol but anything as long as it is beer.”
Dr Manda said the vices had led to some women and mothers failing to be role models to their children as some of them shamelessly misbehaved in the presence of their children.
He said such women were promoters of illicit behaviours that were steadily increasing among the youth.
Dr Manda also urged traditional counsellors who were preparing women for marriage to advocate the abolishment of alcohol consumption during bridal functions if future brides were to respect and honour their matrimonial homes.
“If you are only teaching that bride to be immoral and carelessly drink, how do you expect her to take care of her future home?” he asked.
Dr Manda said high alcohol consumption was among the major causes of poor health in Zambia.
He explained that the rampant intake of alcohol had the capacity to damage the liver due to the chemical substances that alcohol contained.
“I am not saying one cannot take alcohol once in a while. But people should know that high alcohol consumption derails a person’s thinking capacity and this does not augur well for a parent who is looking after children,” he said.
Dr Manda said a human liver would get poisoned by alcohol contents once a person was intoxicated beyond what his body could take.
He said once a human liver was damaged, it would pose a negative challenge to the smooth functioning of the body.
Dr Manda added that high alcohol consumption had the capacity to degenerate particles of the grey matter in the human brain.
“Once some sensitive parts of the brain are damaged, they cannot be replaced as some of them do not regenerate and it is very hard for alcohol to get out of the brain matter,” said Dr Manda.
Meanwhile, Umoyo natural health managing director Kim Otteby said high alcohol consumption had the potential to disrupt blood sugar balance that a human body was designed to contain.
She said alcohol also contributed to high sugar levels in one’s future.
She added that high alcohol also had the potential to reduce mineral contents in the human body and could lead to high acidity levels in the body.
Otteby added that habitual alcohol drinkers were at high risk of suffering from depression.
“Our bodies were not designed to be alkaline and this is very dangerous for human beings,” she said.
Otteby also urged expectant mothers to desist from taking alcohol as it had the potential to cause mental disorders to their unborn children.
According to a recent World Health Organisation report, alcohol kills 3.3 million people worldwide each year, more than AIDS, tuberculosis and violence combined. The UN health agency further warned that booze consumption was on the rise.

There is also too much diarrhea of the mouth oozing from Dr Manda’s ex wife Tasintha Mukatimui Luo! Maybe he should plug that one first before talking of what others are putting in their mouths. Well, it would have been a virus he blasted into her esophagus during an oral drilling that has made he go viral thinking Obama is Boko Haram.

The issue at hand is luck of capital as most of the drunkards they re doing nothing. Women who have been to school their thinking capacity is different from someone who has never attended school.

Thank you doc for this item. Yes most women take advantage of these function to cheat on their husbands. Most of these women who drink carelessly are married. Little do they realise that when their husbands ditch them, they will not get married to those men who commit adultery with them. Women, “You never miss your water until your well runs dry. NGO’s where are you? Why do you promote promiscuity in the name of human rights? You even advise adulterous women to sue because they have been exposed. Shame on you unmarried NGO women who would like other women to join you.

I think most women drink because they have been patient with their husbands but it seems the husbands still want to play around. So rather than sit at home waiting for him to live his life they resort to do the very things that their husbands do.
However, the women have little understanding of how powerful they really are, resorting to such things only destroys them, the men usually remain intact. you are the ones who lose respect and bring disorder to your homes. The man will cheat and drink his senses out but everyone will just brush it aside and move on. Its different with women, a whole book of insults will be heaped on you and you may even lose your home.
That being said, women must understand the inner strength they have, women hold things together, they change lives, they beautify things and if a woman is wise their is development in a home, the children are educated and well supplied. women build because its inherent in them, that’s who they are, if you could know this about yourself you wont need to compete with your husband or boyfriend or any man for that matter because who you are is a beautiful creature, a flower in the garden, dew in the desert. You are much more and so much more. Those who act contrary have not yet discovered who they are. these virtues are there in every woman, she just needs to open her eyes and see them.

Why did Dr. Manda talk only about women abusing alcohol? Why did he not talk about the abuse of alcohol by men. Probably, the binge drinking among our women folk is something that has been learnt from the habitual drinking by men!

Most Women these days have become like door mats no dignity, no culture, careless talk no manners. It a shame to hear from a foolish woman who is a leader that i drink but not too much. No wonder even when they are old they cant find a man to call my husband because even a foolish man want at least some dignity in a woman. How a normal woman can say exposing an adulterous woman is wrong you ***** foolish leader. What are you teaching young ones. If was a president i can fire you and depot to Somalia because you are national useless woman leader. Habakkuk 2 v 15. Much more foolish men who allow their wives to drink ba swine imwe you will go to hell and hell is not a jock it is real. Thank Doc
