Tragedy In Your Life!
“Envyings, murders, drunkenness, revellings, and such like: of the which I tell you before, as I have also told you in time past, that they which do such things shall not inherit the kingdom of God.” —Galatians 5:21
Those who believe it is OK to drink booze are using the Bible to justify their behavior, rather than to shape their behavior. This is typical of interpreting the Bible to fit one's desires. I do not drink alcohol for the same reason that I don't step on the tracks in front of a moving train. Asking whether drinking is a sin is like asking whether it's a sin to play Russian Roulette with one empty chamber. There is no reason to spiritualize this issue. If you think you can drink and handle it, you are either in denial or you simply haven't suffered the consequences that invariably accompany alcohol.Even if we believe the Bible permits consumption, what does wisdom tell us? Truthfully, drinking is stupid. Here in the United States, there is absolutely no reason to do it — and, we're surrounded by reasons not to do it. Alcohol is a lot more potent today compared to Jesus' time. Wine in the Bible was naturally fermented; not fermented using a still as it is today (which produces a much higher concentration of alcohol). It doesn't take much to get drunk these days, depending on what you are drinking and your tolerance. Add to this our culture's use of drunkenness as a form of stress reliever and you have imminent disaster. Booze is glorified on TV, radio and is an official staple of college spring break.
Alcohol has led many unsuspecting victims into the SIN of drunkenness. Alcohol often destroys lives and families!!! I stood over the grave of a mother and her child, both killed by a drunk driver. The drunk driver lived, but he killed a pregnant mother and her unborn child. It is murder!
I thank God for organizations like Mothers Against Drunk Drivers (MADD) who are doing their best to fight against the evils of alcohol; but God is against more than just drunk drivers... GOD HATES BOOZE, THE SALOON, AND THE ENTIRE BEER INDUSTRY.
“The saloon is the sum of all villainies. It is worse than war or pestilence. It is the crime of crimes. It is the parent of crimes and the mother of sins. It is the appalling source of misery and crime in the land. And to license such an incarnate fiend of hell is the dirtiest, low-down, damnable business on top of this old earth.” —Billy Sunday (Quoted from the sermon, The Curse of the Saloon)
Isaiah 24:9, “They shall not drink wine with a song; strong drink shall be bitter to them that drink it.”
DYING UNDER THE INFLUENCE
(a 12 part video series exposing the evils of alcohol)
Beer is extremely dangerous because it contains less alcohol than stronger drinks such as whiskey. Beer drinkers are under a FALSE sense of security and are likely to consume much more alcohol. The alcohol barons are liars and won't tell the truth to the public. Most deaths caused by alcohol are directly the result of BEER drinking; not hard liquor.
In addition, most alcohol-related accidents involve drivers with a BAC (Blood Alcohol Concentration) under .08 (the legal limit). A 13-year old girl was recently struck and killed by an alcohol-impaired driver in our neighborhood. His BAC was .06, so legally he couldn't be charged with drunk driving, even though he was stumbling from his car and talking in mumble.
Alcohol has PROVEN to be a menace to our society. America needs Billy Sundays to rise up all across this once great nation, preaching uncompromisingly hard and loud sermons against the evils of booze. Truly, alcohol has earned the name LIQUID DEVIL.
- Fact: Beer is the drink most commonly consumed by people stopped for alcohol-impaired driving or involved in alcohol-related crashes. -Source
- Fact: In 2001, more than half a million people were injured or disfigured in crashes where police reported that alcohol was present — an average of one person injured approximately every minute. One third of these were children. -Source
- Fact: In 2002, an estimated 17,419 people died in alcohol–related traffic crashes—an average of one every 30 minutes. These deaths constitute 41 percent of the 42,815 total traffic fatalities. -Source
- Fact: Alcohol is closely linked with violence. About 40 percent of all crimes (violent and non-violent) are committed under the influence of alcohol. -Source
- Fact: In 2000, the societal costs of alcohol-related crashes in the United States averaged $1.00 per drink consumed. People other than the drinking driver paid $0.60 per drink. -Source
MADD Statistics | Alcohol (The untold story!)
Drinking alcohol is a fool's game of Russian-roulette! No one ever says, "Hey, I want to kill somebody today while under the influence of Alcohol." Yet, hundreds-of-thousands of people every year die in America because of alcohol-related accidents. Or was it an accident? Drunk driving is no accident.
END
Drunkenness And The End Of The Age
Social drinking is not the solution to the problem of alcoholism. Rather the social glass is the starting point of the majority of alcoholics.
If legal age barriers are eliminated in the sale of alcoholic beverages, and boys and girls are encouraged to drink in the homes, in society, and at church sponsored functions, what would be the result ? There would be increased slaughter on our highways due to drunken driving including that of teenage drivers. The national crime bill, already the highest on record, will be greatly increased.
As strong drink destroys the mind and body and removes all moral inhibitions, the nation would be further weakened to subversive forces boring from within. The rich owners of huge liquor monopolies and big investors will become richer still as families are reduced to abject poverty, and youth winds up in a gutter. Increased drunkenness is one of the given signs of the last days: "But ye, brethren, are not in darkness, that that day should overtake you as a thief... Therefore let us not sleep, as do others, but let us watch and be sober. For they that sleep sleep in the night; and they that be drunken are drunken in the night. But let us, who are of the day be sober... For God hath not appointed us to wrath, but to obtain salvation by our Lord Jesus Christ" (1st Thessalonians 5:4-9).
Those who are drunken in the night are not the children of light. Only the children of light are appointed to obtain salvation. Those who are of the night and darkness including drunkards, are appointed to wrath. What will drunkards do, when in the last great war of this age, the vintage is cut off, and there is no more wine? They will awake and weep and howl as forecast by the prophets. (Joel 1:5; Isaiah 24:1)
In view of His sudden return, Jesus specifically warned Christians, saying "Take heed to yourselves, lest at any time your hearts be overcharged with surfeiting, and drunkenness, and cares of this life, and so that day come upon you unawares" (Luke21:34). But sad to say, many do not heed this warning. Likewise there are ministers today, who, like the householder in Jesus' parable, have said in their hearts, "My Lord delayeth His coming," and are now engaged in smiting their fellowservants and eating and drinking with the drunken. Upon such, the Lord will come in an hour when they think not, and shall appoint their portion with the hypocrites where "...there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth (Matthew 24.51).

Alcohol & Drug Abuse Costs, $(Million) U.S. 1995
Alcohol 1995 Drugs 1995 Specialty alcohol and drug services 6,660 5,258 Medical consequences 15,830 6,623 Loss of Earnings - Death 34,921 16,247 Loss of Earnings - Illness 77,150 17,481 Loss of Earnings - Criminal Activity 7,231 43,821 Crashes, Fires 24,752 20,402 Total 166,543 109,832 ABOVE: Data from the National Institute on Drug Abuse and The National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism. NIH Publication No. 98-4327, Sept 1998.
That's $166,543,000,000! It cost the American people $166,543,000,000 in 1995 because of the evils associated with alcohol. That adds up to trillions of wasted dollars every decade! So many people question the sinfulness of alcohol itself. Don't look at the alcohol, look at the statistics! Look at what evils are caused by the consumption of alcohol!
Most people wake up to the evils of alcohol when their child gets plowed into by a drunkard. When you see your child's head cracked open, with brains hanging out, with blood splattered all over the street, and some drunk fool behind the wheel doesn't even know what just happened... then maybe you'll hate booze like God does.
I watched a man run a knife clear through his hand while cutting a rubber hose because he had too much alcohol to drink. And that's the great deception, how much alcohol is too much? It's a fact that many accidents involving alcohol are committed by drunks within the legal limit of 0.08 BAC. So legally they are not considered "drunk." It is wickedness.
A drunk driver crashed into a school bus filled with children!
"I am the sworn, eternal and uncompromising enemy of the liquor traffic. I have been, and will go on, fighting that damnable, dirty, rotten business with all the power at my command. I shall ask no quarter from that gang, and they shall get none from me." —Billy Sunday (from The Curse of Liquor!)
"And take heed to yourselves, lest at any time your hearts be overcharged with surfeiting, and drunkenness, and cares of this life, and so that day come upon you unawares." —Luke 21:34
So many people turn to booze to escape their problems. "Wine, women, and song" is the old saying. Today, the saying is "Sex, drugs, and Rock 'N' Roll." Well, God is against immoral sex, drug abuse and Satanic music. God is against booze because of what it does to society.
"Wine is a mocker, strong drink is raging: and whosoever is deceived thereby is not wise...Bread of deceit is sweet to a man; but afterwards his mouth shall be filled with gravel." —Proverb 20:1,17
On www.BeerServesAmerica.com (a pathetic website), the beer industry crows about contributions to society by supplying jobs, economic development, and charitable donations, and the most important part, beer, "America's beverage." For the beer industry to attempt to paint a pretty picture of their wickedness is an abomination unto God. It would be like Hitler saying that the holocaust was good because it provided many Germans with jobs, soap, wigs, and less traffic during rush hour. It is insanity for the beer industry to whitewash their works of darkness (Ephesians 5:11).
The beer industry is a whited sepulcher filled with dead man's bones (Matthew 23:27). Liquor, booze, alcohol, beer, whiskey, Jack Daniel's, Smirnoff... call it whatever you want... IT'S ALL STRAIGHT FROM HELL! God is against drunk drivers! God is against all drunkards! God is against alcohol being used as a recreational activity. And we all know someone with an alcohol problem. Booze is LIQUID DEVIL!

"Your doctor never heard of anybody who got to be an alcoholic without taking the first drink." —Evangelist John R. Rice
Beer destroys lives! Why should the non-alcohol drinking citizens in America have to pay for the reckless and irresponsible behavior of many of those who DO drink alcohol? Alcohol-related accidents cost the U.S. economy billions upon billions of dollars every year. Why hasn't congress stepped in to put an end to this evil? I think the following quote says it all...
"Alcohol and bribery always go together (Isaiah 5:23-23). The pious hypocrite Rockefeller was a member of the Anti-Saloon League and actually donated money to the prohibition cause ($350,000 worth!). He HATED the booze business because he did not control it!!
When prohibition was enacted in 1920, he bought up all the distilleries and wineries at a pittance. Then when prohibition was repealed by Rockefeller stooge Roosevelt in 1933, the booze money began to flow into the Rockefeller coffers. That is why the Rockefeller owned newspapers are constantly telling people that alcohol is GOOD for you. They know that you will soon be visiting the Rockefeller controlled "doctors" and be using Rockefeller "drugs" to cure you. That is why "doctors" in the U.S. are not trying to stop the alcohol/poison business which is the main cause of illness and death in the country." -SOURCE

"...and whosoever is deceived thereby is not wise." —Proverb 20:1
This young woman didn't die in the above alcohol-related car accident, but probably wishes she had at the time. This is but one horrific tragedy, one of the millions of victims who DIDN'T die but will suffer for the rest of their lives because of beer. To repair Denise's lung and some of her other fractures, the doctors had to put her in a medically induced coma for five and a half weeks. They then put seven plates and 22 screws in her head and face, a process that took nearly 18 hours. Today Denise speaks to teens and others, still suffering, warning them of the dangers of alcohol.

“The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration's (NHTSA) position on the relationship between blood alcohol concentration and driving is that driving performance degrades after just one drink.”
SOURCE: http://www.nhtsa.dot.gov/people/injury/New-fact-sheet03/Point08BAC.pdfIn 1998 alone... 41,471 people lost their lives in tragic car collisions. Of those collisions, over 15,938 were related to alcohol. More then 305,000 people were injured in alcohol related collisions. Estimated costs relating to EACH alcohol-related fatality collision are about $900,000 (and $20,000 for EACH non-fatality injury collision). This includes court costs, insurance pay outs and medical payments.
Nearly 1/2 of all alcohol related collisions are among drivers 21 to 35.
December tops the list as deadliest of months to drive. Deaths go up due to alcohol consumption during the holidays as well as worsened weather.
I'm tired of hearing the godless alcohol industry propagate the dangerous advice not to drink and drive. People shouldn't drink alcohol at all. Listen folks, a drunk person is out of their mind, what's to stop them from getting into their car and driving? That's right, in MOST cases, NOTHING. This BEST ADVICE is NOT to drink alcohol in any form at all.

More Alcohol Statistics Proving that Beer Should be Outlawed!
Alcohol involvement remains the leading factor in motor vehicle deaths.
(NHTSA, 1999)
Only 7 percent of all crashes involve alcohol use, but nearly 39 percent of
fatal crashes do. (NHTSA, 1999)
Traffic crashes are the greatest single cause of death for every age from
six through 33. Almost half of these fatalities are in alcohol-related
crashes. (NHTSA, 1999)
Approximately 18% of all drivers involved in fatal crashes in 1998 were
intoxicated at the time of their crash (21% in 1993). (NHTSA, 1999)
In single-vehicle fatal crashes occurring on weekend nights in 1998,
72.3% of the fatally injured driver's 25 years old or older were intoxicated,
as compared with 57.7% of drivers under the age of 25. (NHTSA, 1995)
In 1998, 29% of all fatal crashes during the week were alcohol-related,
compared to 52% on weekends. For all crashes, the alcohol involvement
rate was 5% during the week and 12% during the weekend. (NHTSA,
1999)
It is estimated that 2.6 million drunk driving crashes each year victimize 4
million innocent people who are injured or have their vehicles damaged.
(Miller ET al, 1996b)
In 1993, one in 100 drivers had a BAC of .10 or greater. About 16 billion
miles were driven drunk. (Miller et al, 1996c)
In fatal crashes, the proportion of drivers who were intoxicated (blood
alcohol content of .10 or greater) decreased from 25% in 1988 to 18% in
1998, a 28% decrease in that proportion. (NHTSA, 1999)
The highest intoxication rates in fatal crashes in 1996 were recorded for
driver's 21-24 years old, followed by ages 25-34 and 35-44. These three
groups have shown the smallest reductions since 1985. (NHTSA, 1999)
Male drivers involved in fatal crashes were nearly twice as likely to have
been intoxicated (21.8%) than were females (11.2%). (NHTSA, 1996)
Men are four times more likely than women to drive after drinking (Miller
et al, 1996c)
In 1995, there were 11,723 fatally injured drivers in single vehicle crashes.
About 46.7% were intoxicated. (NHTSA, 1996)
The highest intoxication rates in fatal crashes in 1998 were recorded for
drivers 21-24 years old (28%), followed by ages 25-34 (24%) and 35-44
(21%). (NHTSA, 1999)
Nearly a third of males (31%) drive after drinking in the past year,
compared with only 13% of females. (NHTSA, 1996)
Drivers age 21 to 29 drive the greatest proportion of their miles drunk
(Miller et al., 1996c)
More than 2,300 anti-drunk driving laws have been passed since 1980.
