It’s Just Dumb!!!

Proverbs 20:1
Wine is a mocker, strong drink is raging:
and whosoever is deceived thereby is not wise.

Have you ever read the alcohol slogans?

The Beer That Made Milwaukee Famous... It looks good, it tastes good, and by golly it does you good...Probably the Best Beer in the World...It’s What Your Right Arm Is For...It Works Every Time...It’s The One Beer To Have When You’re Having More Than One...A Taste of the Truth...For Those Who Know the Best...Let Your Senses Take Flight...Life uncomplicated... Okay that's enough.

Over and over we are told that it's good and we are all missing out on not having a glass, bottle or swig of it. Some call it the "Good Ol' Mountain Dew". God sees it as sin, a distorter of your mind and actions. Just how many drinks do you need to become inebriated? Can you see the dumbness in this question? People will give you all kinds of answers to this question. They will rationalize it with science and weight. Using blood alcohol level calculators to make sure and drink just enough. Forgetting to factor in medications that will enhance the drunkenness and blood alcohol levels.

They will teach you that it is different for everyone. But can I tell you what is not different for everyone? The state of drunkenness and its effects in your life. One truth that will be the same for everyone is just as the scripture says it will mock you. You are a laughed at fool when you are drunk. You become a raging person that is riding an emotional roller coaster. Another truth is that you are deceived! You thought that it would mellow out the problems but it only intensified, and more than likely added to them.

For those that live in Alabama can I give you one last truth of how it will definitely effect everyone no matter age, weight, sex or race?  If you keep pushing the limits of your blood alcohol level calculator it may catch up with you. Here are our Alabama laws on DUI's:

4th Offense
Jail
None
5 days
60 days
1 year
Fines and Penalties
$600 to $2,100
$1,100 to $5,100
$2,100 to $10,000
$4,100 to $10,100
License Suspension
90 days
1 year
3 years
5 years
Not that it matters, but my slogan would be... Drinking, Not Only Is It Sin... It's Just Dumb!

Letter of Recomendation

Philippians 2:20-22 For I have no man likeminded, who will naturally care for your state. For all seek their own, not the things which are ...
