Subject: making wine.Did Jesus make a mistake. |
Bible Note: Retxar, you, like me, have probably heard all the "good reasons" for tipping the bottle -- things like being socialable, unwinding, being able to relax at the end of a tough day at the office, and even that tired old claim that it promotes health (THAT takes a while for them to explain!). And then there's the argument that the "responsible" use of alcohol as a beverage won't lead to addiction (alcoholism). But no alcoholic I've ever seen deliberately set out to become one. And I've worked with heavy drinkers, problem drinkers, and alcoholics. There is no group that I know of who are better at denial than boozers. They deny they have any problem with the sauce. They're like the guy standing at a bar guzzling one beer after another. Said he: "My altake of incohol doesn't really bither me a bot, but it does seem the drunker I stand here the longer I get." --Hank |
