The process of digestion is not voluntary but involuntary(in other words, you do not have to think "I have to secret stomach acid right now to digest the chicken I just had.").
When you swallow something, or even think about swallowing something, certain hormone is automatically secreted by the digestive tract not requiring certain commands from your brain. However, after the meal, the brain affects your metabolism by slowing down your heart beat and increase the movement of the tract and the secretion of hormones or enzymes.
The other way brain can affect your metabolism is when you haven’t had meals for long time. Your brain tells you, "I’m starving," and starts thinking about eating something. then your stomach produces gastric acid even though there is no food in it. Such strong acid can damage the stomach wall if the stomach does not contain any food in it. That’s why you sometimes have pain in your stomach when you are really hungry.
If you had no idea what the heck I was talking about, this is the conclusion. Your brain can help you realize you are hungry and help you digest food more easily, but it does not mean that your brain has dominant control over your digestive tract(your brain does not have to give specific commands to the tracts in order for them to digest something).
I know my words are confusing but I hope it helped. =)

In philosophy, the golden mean is the desirable middle between two extremes, one of excess and the other of deficiency.
In the business world, managers struggle constantly to achieve the right blend between various extremes. In the present business scenario, where differentiation sought through functional aspects exhaust faster than ever before, it is imperative to find a positioning that is unique, not because of its functional superiority but because of its pre-eminence in terms of fit. The organizations with appropriate strategic fits are the ones which know how to make tradeoffs, where to draw a line. The managers who seek success need to make difficult choices and strike a perfect balance. The inability to strike this balance leads to failure, whether it is of empires, organizations or beings.
The earliest representation of this idea in culture is probably in the mythological Cretan tale of Daedalus and Icarus. Daedalus, a famous artist of his time, built feathered wings for himself and his son so that they might escape the clutches of King Minos. Daedalus warns his son to “fly the middle course”, between the sea spray and the sun’s heat. Icarus did not heed his father; he flew up and up until the sun melted the wax off his wings.
Another early elaboration is the Doric saying carved on the front of the temple at Delphi: “Nothing in Excess”.
The notion of moderation is applicable in all the realms of management. Whether it is the marketers dealing with 4 Ps or the accountants working on the asset- debt structures; or operational decisions of assembly line functions vs. customization or talent retention against layoffs, strategic decisions need to be made and failure at any point can lead to failure of the entire system.
Imperium- 2008 attempts to bring the best management brains of the country through a series of fascinating events calling for acute decision making. Games that call for managers adept at functional areas as well as capable of making right tradeoff across all the realms of management. Ours is a world of choices, risk vs. return, generalization vs. segmentation, generic approach vs. differentiation, time vs. cost, efficiency vs. equity. There are endless choices to be made, myriad decisions to be taken. But the profound wisdom lies in Buddhas middle path- in striking the balance.
Socrates teaches that a man “must know how to choose the mean and avoid the extremes on either side, as far as possible”; while Plato postulates “If we disregard due proportion by giving anything what is too much for it; too much canvas to a boat, too much nutriment to a body, too much authority to a soul, the consequence is always shipwreck.”
For all those who believe that are the true heirs to thrones in the business world, Imperium brings an opportunity to test themselves against most stimulating settings to find if they can reach the Golden mean..

lately i just cant stop. ill know that ive hit my limit, and should probably stop and then 3 minutes later ill be chasing after the bottle.
Try drinking water as well. When you think you’re really drunk, just drink a few classes of water, that will also help you not be so hungover the next day. That’s what I do.
Try filling up your empty beers with water, that way it looks like you’re drinking, and you don’t have to tell anyone you’re not drinking alcohol anymore, but if they ask, tell them the truth or else you’ll look stupid.

Everytime I start drinking…I can’t stop…I don’t want to quit drinking because I love it….but I also don’t want to be sloshed everytime I go out somewhere or hang with friends….any advice?
side note…I may be an alcoholic.
Best to go out and do all your business when you are badly hung over. That is the time you are least likely want to drink. Otherwise you sound pretty well adjusted and on top of things.
I want to drink, it’s fun and makes me feel great. I’m not escaping anything or using it to deal with problems. I like the taste and like the fun atmosphere of it with friends. But most of the time when drinking I’m one of the crazy drunks that go… well, crazy. People tell me I’m just not a drinker and I should stop, but I honestly don’t want to. I just want to learn control. Or maybe it’s just a mental thing and I can easily do it?
No, you generally don’t "learn control". Most of the people I know who used to "go crazy" as you put it, and who now don’t, used to binge drink as a choice, and have now stopped, as a choice.
If you are at the moment basically drinking until you can’t drink anymore, then you’re showing signs of having a problem. Maybe try going out and limiting yourself to, for example, four drinks. If you can do this, then you are able to control yourself, if you can’t then you have a problem.
I get really bad stomach pains while i am drinking alcohol.. it is really annoying and didnt used to happen to me.. If i take tums will this help with the stomach pains?
but later on when i lay down i start to get gasy and then feel better
See you doctor and take the time to describe these symptoms. Doctors drink too. He will understand and take a close look at your symptoms. It is just not worth your health or worth your risk of getting worse with complications. Caring for yourself is an investment in your future and actually it costs less to take care of it now that to wait and spend thousands in a hospital. Get to the doctor and drop the tums fix.
