The Kiswahili term,"kupiga flush" is very common among those who partake of the "brown water."
It means gulping down a drink and many are not aware of its danger.
Whether it is wine, spirit or beer, taking it in large gulps will give you more complications as opposed to sipping it slowly.
The first reason why you should not take your drink in gulps is because it can lead to what is known as alcohol poisoning or overdose. This is actually fatal.
The sudden increase in alcohol level in your system makes your system ineffective to adjust and may lead to death.
Secondly, those who gulp down their drinks become addicted to alcohol faster than those who sip.
The third reason is sexual dysfunction. While taking alcohol makes you horny, gulping it down renders your nerves completely numb making you impossible to rise to the occasion.
Lastly, gulping down your drink increases your chances of contracting cancer of the throat. Of course you will also not escape the severe headache and hangover! Usipige flush!
