Alcohol

Before I was a Christian I fooled around with drinking. Sometimes I did much more than fool around with it. I have suffered at times from allergies. Some of my allergies apparently were the chemicals used in making alcoholic beverages. It didn*t seem to matter if I drank 1 beer or 5 beers. I would get a headache. It wasn*t a hangover since I would get the headache about an hour after I began drinking. The next morning the headache would usually be gone.

Since I have become a Christian I thank the Lord for those headaches. They helped keep me from becoming an alcoholic. Since I have become a Christian the Lord has given me quite a bit of information about how devastating alcohol is and how many lives it ruins. I am increasingly grateful for those headaches!

I will share some of the facts about alcohol in the hope that you will avoid it. Some of the facts are from some knowledgeable people and some are from the Bible:

Some medical experts claim there are health benefits to drinking alcohol. They sometimes fail to mention that you can get about the same amount of anti-oxidents in Concord grape juice as in wine. They also often fail to mention the other benefits can be gotten from other sources without any of the risks of alcohol. One in sixteen people who drink will become an alcoholic. If there was a one in sixteen chance of an airplane crashing, you would not get on it.

Dr. S. I. McMillen:

Surveys show that between 50% and 79% of traffic fatalities involve alcohol. Insurance executive:

Auto insurance rates could be cut 40% if drinking drivers weren*t such a problem.

Middlesex County, N.J. Medical Examiner:

In 40% of violent deaths alcohol is a factor.
