Proverb 20:1, “Wine is a mocker, strong drink is raging: and whosoever is deceived thereby is not wise.” Proverbs 23:29-35, “Who hath woe? who hath sorrow? who hath contentions? who hath babbling? who hath wounds without cause? who hath redness of eyes? They that tarry long at the wine; they that go to seek mixed wine. Look not thou upon the wine when it is red, when it giveth his colour in the cup, when it moveth itself aright. At the last it biteth like a serpent, and stingeth like an adder. Thine eyes shall behold strange women, and thine heart shall utter perverse things. Yea, thou shalt be as he that lieth down in the midst of the sea, or as he that lieth upon the top of a mast. They have stricken me, shalt thou say, and I was not sick; they have beaten me, and I felt it not: when shall I awake? I will seek it yet again.”
Dear friend, if you don't take the first drink of beer, you cannot take the second. You cannot become a drunk if you don't take the first sip of booze. I HATE BOOZE!!! I grew up around Skid Row, tagging along with my father who was a Skid Row Preacher for over 30 years in Chicago. We live in a hypocritical society in the United States, where the motto “Say No To Drugs” is relentlessly promoted to youth, ignoring the most deadly drug of all, which is ALCOHOL...
“Christians can never sin cheaply; they pay a heavy price for iniquity. Transgression destroys peace of mind, obscures fellowship with Jesus, hinders prayer, brings darkness over the soul; therefore be not the serf and bondman of sin.” ―Pastor Charles H. Spurgeon, Morning And Evening: Daily Readings
Yes, alcohol is a drug. Perhaps it’s more dangerous because it is more accepted and less regulated. Alcohol is the source of many substance use disorders. In 2014, 16.3 million adults aged 18 or older had an alcohol use disorder. About 1.5 million adults received treatment for an alcohol use disorder at a specialized facility. Additionally, an estimated 55,000 adolescents received treatment for alcohol issues in a specialized facility. This proves that alcohol is addictive and can disrupt the lives of many.

That is so horrible! I followed Jacqueline's website for many years, since 2002 when I started my website. I am not sure when she began her website, but her tragic injury was in 1999. Drunk driving is NO ACCIDENT folks, people choose to get drunk! People know exactly how many beers they are drinking, but they don't care, which is why they drink too much and get drunk.
I am so sick and tired of the hypocrisy of Mothers Against Drunk Driving (M.A.D.D.). If alcohol messes up your head, how can you expect people to have enough sense not to get behind the wheel? These mothers want to have their alcohol-free drivers but drink it too, but that has never worked and never will. Moderation with alcohol is still taught today, but history has shown that moderation with an addictive substance is IMPOSSIBLE! I take an even stronger stand as a fundamentalist Bible preacher—DON'T DRINK BOOZE!!! Americans love their Tennessee whiskey like Russians love their Vodka! Consuming alcohol is a foo's game of Russian Roulette. It only takes ONE TIME!
Dear Reader, while hanging in torment upon the cross, the Roman soldiers offered Jesus fermented wine, but He refused it. Matthew 27:34, “They gave him vinegar to drink mingled with gall: and when he had tasted thereof, he would not drink.” As soon as Jesus tasted the fermented wine, He refused it. If Jesus refused this beverage even as His body was tormented with extraordinary pain and thirst on the cross, why would He have drank wine normally in His life? Think about that. If Jesus were a drinking man, certainly He would have drank the alcohol on the cross, but as soon as HE TASTED IT, HE WOULD NOT DRINK IT!!! Jesus never drank alcohol. The best policy is abstinence from booze!
