Don't know about the Yale stuff, but I so love Guinness Extra Stout. Seems they are better when they are terribly cold - not warm - but just right.Paul: I shan't lower myself to argue with a non-Guinness drinker.
You, Sir, have the boorish manners of a Yale man !

Don't know what happened to my response -- so will respond again -- my husband grew up in an abusive home Because of the alcohol useage. I grew up in an alcohol free environment. My husband has never had any use for alcohol in Any form.
Don't take this the wrong way buy Alcohol is a SIGN of a problem but not THE problem.crochet1949 wrote:RickD wrote:I guess we know who wears the pants in your family.crochet1949 wrote:I grew up in a very non-alcohol setting and my husband grew up in a Very alcohol setting, so we have no problem with being Totally Non-alcohol.

Anyone dealing with the public at ground level sees the damage that addiction causes and how far the damage spreads. I actually consider alcohol a worse problem than cannabis. I especially felt for the children involved.Nessa wrote:I grew up in a home where my dad regularly abused alcohol. Some people shouldn't drink. Just like some people shouldn't smack their kids.
Though in saying that, many people struggle greatly with alcohol addiction and I don't want to sound like I'm over simplifying the problem. Just trying to say that it's not just a matter of everyone not drinking. Just some.
It's the person consuming the alcohol that can do damage. Not the the bottle itself.

My medical family members say that roughly 10% of the population is prone to addiction. Believe they refer to it as addictive personalities. That same group can be addicted regardless what activity is causing the addiction, be it sex/porn, drugs, alcohol, gambling, reckless ventures for adrenaline rush, pleasure shopping, etc.
What would Jesus do? Or what has he already DONE? Was His example one of being a teetotaler?Since no one knows What affect alcohol / drugs will have on a person -- it's Better to leave it alone in the 1st place.
I'm not aware of scripture saying that Jesus drank wine. But, the fact that he changed water into wine, seems like it means he didn't find anything inherently wrong with drinking wine, in and of itself.Philip wrote:What would Jesus do? Or what has he already DONE? Was His example one of being a teetotaler?Since no one knows What affect alcohol / drugs will have on a person -- it's Better to leave it alone in the 1st place.Did many in ancient Israel not also get hammered silly? Did that stop Jesus from drinking wine? Why NOT?
