Some people complain that when they drink alcohol, they have to urinate several times in a short period. They think the alcohol “goes right through them.”
Actually, what really happens is that their alcohol turns off the inhibition in their brain. Sure, you all know this, but do you know how inhibition really serves you? The beer turns of the inhibition of the imbiber’s speech, sexual choices and driving habits. And it also turns off their brain’s inhibition to pee. Even with the smallest amount of urine in their bladder, their brain says, “Go Pee!”. The brain is trying to say, “You have urine in your bladder, but you can wait.” But since the inhibition center is turned off, that part of the brain is gagged.
The inhibition part of the brain works both on our behavior and our bodies. I did another post on this issue called “Peeing away your cash” (which few people read, sniffle!). But thinking further about inhibition, I wonder if it is better to meditate with a full bladder. A full bladder activates your inhibition center which may help you to suppress the compulsive monkey mind. Anyone with experience on this topic? I doubt it. Alas, my isolation is horrible. 🙂
