Alcohol
I want to know why the tv newcasts keep pushing alcoholic drinking on us. Practically every day they are telling us how good alcohol is. Most of the time they tell us women to drink, today they told men to drink. Apparently there is a minor health benefit, but then they have to qualify it by saying to drink moderately, and don't smoke and keep your weight normal and eat a healthy diet and get exercise along with the moderate drinking to get the benefits. What is moderate drinking? How many people stop after one drink? How many drinkers can say they follow all the other recomendations for good health? I am a non drinker and I am not going to start drinking now just because the news media can't think of anything else to tell us. I think they are justifing their compulsive habit. I also know that alcohol is addictive and potentially very harmful to the person drinking and to anyone who is around them. I won't go into drunk driving or family abuse. I'll say it again, How many people can quit after one drink?

There is much wisdom and beauty in these posts. Thanks.
Thank you Matt.
Thank you so much for taking that stand. A lot of people feel it but never say it. The world has their own agenda and it is not to make people honor or glorify the Lord. I love you Mommy!
Chrissy thanks and I love you, too. There are probably a lot of people who don't agree with me. They want an excuse to drink, and the media is giving it to them.
I agree! It's funny. It's really the excercise, eating right, not smoking, that makes the best difference. LOL. That's going to make you healthy, not drinking.
And, another point, the "wine" in the Bible was not fermented wine. Everyone is always trying to say "well, they drink in the Bible, so it must be ok." nooooo, they said NOT to drink fermented wine.
Shari,
1.There might not have been as many alcoholics back then.
2.If a person gets drunk it doesn't mean they are an alcoholic.
3.Drinking to excess is what's wrong with it.
4.An alcoholic has lost the ability to say "no".
5.A person doesn't know if he will become an alcoholic or not.
6.There is a reason for dui laws.
