This is getting scary, Oni
Isn't it.
You're quite Biblical on alcohol.
You know it's funny you say that, I usually get that from my friends. It's the few times I agree with the Bible.
It warns about the abuse of it but sanctions moderate use of it in both the Ot and NT scriptures. King David had his wine cellars, Jesus, who was not a teetotaler himself, turned the water into wine at the wedding feast and the apostle Paul advised a little of it for health. Of course, unfortunately, most of our beers and wines have nitrites and sulfate's in them to speed up the process for profit.
Well I can't say I disagree, only that I'd add that Paul should have also warned of weight gain from the high sugar drinks.
Wifie and I drink organic non sulfate wines which have become more affordable in some of the city stores. I also drink a Rolling Rock beer in the bottle a day or every other day. I mix it with pure carrot juice and sometimes with our home processed wild grape and elderberry juice, etc so as to make a natural soda pop.
Sounds good, throw in some whey protein and some creatine monohydrate and you'd add some muscle and reduce fat. It can work two ways.
Abuse of it also leads to powerful addiction. Many a person has lost their health and productive life by it. Therefore abstinence is the best for the weak willed.
The British seem to be very weak willed when it comes to alcohol. They have the highest alcoholism rates and coincidently are getting heavier and heavier. And I think their homicide rate is at record highs.
I never drink before driving.
This is usually something the weak willed do.
