1 | What is 'the fruit of the vine'? | Matt 26:29 | EdB | 34654 | ||
Tim This discussion Alcoholism is higher in anti drinking countries is built on a house of cards. Russia which was basically atheistic under communism had the highest percentages of alcoholism in the world. In another append you mentioned being responsible and teaching your children how to drink. Why? Why would you want to teach them something that has been proven to kill brain cells? Where is the benefit? The only one I could see is a desire to insure the children have at least as many dead brain cells as the parent. Before you say research hasn’t proven any long term effect of these dead brain cells let me ask again why take the chance? To relax? Brother just spending time with Jesus mellows me out and you know what? No brain cells were killed in the process. (many will say that is a good thing since I don’t have many to spare :-) ) Which would be the better thing to teach our child? EdB |

What follows is excerpted from "What the Bible Says About Healthy Living" by Rex Russell, M.D., a Baker Book House publication --- "Alcohol is a depressant of the central nervous system. It suppresses the immune system. It blocks proper nutrient absorption. It alters enzymes that normally protect us from cancer. It causes birth defects. It depletes B vitamins, as well as substantial amounts of minerals. It impedes glycogen (fitness fuel) in the liver. Atheletes are stupid to imbibe because alcohol impairs coordination and reduces the contraction of muscles. If a pregnant woman drinks even a little alcohol during pregnancy, it passes through the mother and into the fetus growing within the mother, producing birth defects or fetal alcohol syndrome. This condition produces newborn babies that have mental and physical retardation, deformed heads and faces, heart diseases and/or spinal cord and brain malformations. Alcohol causes damage to the human brain, joints, muscles and to every organ system in the human body. Perhaps the most serious danger of alcohol is its mental and addictive effects. Alcohol is without doubt one of the most addictive chemicals on God's earth. For some people, alcohol is more addictive than is caffeine, codeine, cocaine or heroin. Because of its effect on the brain and muscular control, alcohol may be the number one destroyer of health in the world." --Hank | ||||||
