Hell on the Third Floor

We have always believed that heaven was above the earth, and hell forever below it. A few would say, for dramatic effect, that hell is on earth. But, that of course, is highly improbable since hell, on my personal opinion, is a place where no good resides. I don't imagine people being consumed by fire, or being drowned in a black river chanting an endless rhyme. Heaven to me, also isn't a kingdom on clouds, where everything is pristine white. That's heaven for the angels and God alone. Humans have another heaven and hell. Heaven is a place where everything is abundant, where everyone is happy, kindhearted, nice, and where love is overflowing. It's like this usual elegant banquet in a mansion (think: parties in Gossip Girl, on the Upper East Side). Hell, on the other hand is a dark street lined with numerous bars where everyone parties nonstop. There's unlimited booze, loud music on boom-boxes, and so much drugs and infidelity happening. Let's say it's the modern Sodom and Gomorrah.To many, they'd say that's heaven. But what if it never stops? What if you just go on and on till you've fallen flat on your face and no one is there to help you? What if you start puking all over yourself before passing out? Is that heaven? I doubt it is at all. It's heaven at the start, I guess everything is until things go to far. And yes, we've got this kind of hell on earth. Earth isn't hell, i will still emphasize. It just has versions of hell scattered all over its surface.
We might be familiar with the place called Drew's. Anyone along Katipunan may have known about this place. It sells cheap cocktails, has great music, and it lets people start dying by 8am. Death there is you passing out, getting dizzy, or puking on the floor. Men carrying women out the establishment, drinks spilling on the floor, customers becoming noisy, and a long line to the restroom. The place itself is dark and warm, but why do people go there? Because it offers a cheap version of heaven. Everyone is game for a bargain, and Drew's beats Cantina when it comes to prices. But if you don't have self-control, you'll be plummeting into hell way before you can even say, "I think I'm tipsy."
So, next time, if ever you'll look up and ever wonder what's happening in the establishment high above your head, accompanying the happy noise and banging music, remember, that these sounds of enjoyment are not what they seem. Things can turn upside down. It's the Drew's effect. Welcome, and get ready to experience hell in alcoholic heaven.
