Many people have anger management problems when they drink alcohol. So what about you? Do you find it difficult to control your anger when you are under the influence of alcohol? If you have answered “yes” to this question then this article may well be of interest to you.

I am not personally involved with anger management as a career, I actually offer people cheap holidays and work part time in the jobs in foster care sector.

Only this morning did I read about how when under the influence of alcohol two men killed another man. They had become involved with an altercation with another man and one of the men then decided to punch him. He fell to the floor at which point the second man then kicked him in the head. It was believed that it was his head hitting the pavement that caused him to die rather than the punch and kick of the two men but despite this they were both convicted.

Three men and their family and friends have had their lives ruined – basically due to the over consumption of alcohol. Would they have acted in such a way had they been sober? I doubt it.

Both men have stated how sorry they are and about how guilty they feel; I for one feel sorry for them both as they will have to live with what they have done for the rest of their lives plus they will spend a number of their best years behind bars. Then there is the families of these two men - they too will have been badly affected by the whole ordeal.

Then, of course, there is the person who has of died, a waste of a promising life, and of course his family. I have and will continue to pray for them all. I have to say that it is a real tragedy.

I for one have stopped drinking alcohol; a drink that at one staged helped me to speak fluently. I had a stutter for eighteen years of my life and alcohol enabled me to gain the confidence to talk without the fear of stuttering.

I have now managed to overcome the stutter and with the help of a DVD authoring company have produced a seventy minute DVD which describes my journey to fluency along with the techniques required to stop stuttering.

For people who do become aggressive when they drink alcohol, please learn the lessons from above before you also ruin the lives of yourself, your family and innocent bystanders.
