Re: Is It Wrong to Drink Alcoholic Beverages?
no, it is not wrong to drink alcoholic beverages, but not all cultures respect it.
so, it is not the alcoholic beverage that is wrong, it is the person who abuses it. have self control and do things in moderation.

I think that some sort of blood alcohol content monitor should be installed in the keyboards.
It is apparent to me that some of our posters are beyond the legal limit when responding.

GREY!!! You got my joke? I thought that would go over everyone but Wil's head..... AAA HAH! Loving it, thanks *bows*
Dondi, ok we'll use the question "is it ok to get hammered?" Then I see the answer is no... But, I can smoke some weed and still stay straight and EVEN MORE focused than normal.... That is before I smoke copius amounts that make me a complete fool... BUT, If it is ok as I have already freaking said, to drink a lil whine, or some beer or couple shots... Then it SHOULD be acceptable for me to smoke in control..... Ugh... This is getting to me... I haven't smoked in four days.... Can anyone see where that is fair and is just? Or are we all wearing the blinkers as usual? Oh weed?! EBIL!! EBIL DRUGS!! BAD!!! Yet you will sit there quite content pickling your livers.... And much much more...... And sometimes, in the name of god... tut tut...
OH and mee... for the record... I am usually the most high over the earth... 4:20 look up towards the East... There you shall find me! Mee if those scriptures are accurate, can you see why god put this plant here? Take advantage of it duuuuuuuude

Re: Is It Wrong to Drink Alcoholic Beverages?
It is remarkable how some individuals can live their life through pickling their livers, yet remain relatively unscathed.
The real damage however that alcohol causes, and why it remains one of the biggest causes of the decline of the human race, is in its effects on the propagation of our species. Bit by bit through the generations, it has done its damage.
Only now, is Australia talking of putting labels on all alcoholic beverages warning pregnant women not to drink. Indeed, it is now finally recognised that there is NO SAFE LIMIT for pregnant women.
It has taken a long time for us humans to come back to this knowledge- something the ancient Greeks knew (and they knew a lot about the perfecting of the human body).
In fact, a lot of children diagnosed with ADHD and Autism are really the result of alcohol poisoning. (Not saying that alcohol causes Autism just that some get wrongly pigeonholed there.)
One thing however, that is not recognised by modern science is that men intending to father children are better to lay off the booze as it also damages their generative organs.
In Christ,
Br.Bruce

Hi Greymare,
If you are planning on getting pregnant or making someone else pregnant the message is clear.
People often talk of the karmic consequences when we injure one another, but what about the lifetime injuries children receive in the womb? I have looked after such children, and it's not pretty.

Sounds like a condition colloquially known as "brewer's droop".
Alcohol related brain impairment - Better Health Channel.

ARBI is more likely to occur if a person drinks heavily on a regular basis over many years. Men who consume six standard drinks a day for more than eight years and women who consume three standard drinks a day for more than eight years are placing themselves at risk of potentially causing damage to their brain from alcohol.

(Ephesians 5:18) Also, do not be getting drunk with wine, in which there is debauchery, but keep getting filled with spirit,
holy spirit of cause, not the other kind of spirit  thats not to say a drop of spanish brandy is not good for us, but if we keep filling ourselves up with it we will be drunk .
but if we fill ourselves up with holy spirit it will produce good results
On the other hand, the fruitage of the spirit is love, joy, peace, long-suffering, kindness, goodness, faith, mildness, self-control. Against such things there is no law. GALATIONS 5;22-23
