Alcohol is the most dangerous drug when you
look at the overall damages to society and individuals. Booze is far more
common, since it is legal and glamorized, than illegal drugs or other forms
of substance abuse.
Alcohol has led many
unsuspecting victims into the SIN of drunkenness (Galatians 5:21). And
drunkenness leads to every sin imaginable (Proverb 23:29-35). Booze
destroys lives!!!
I stood over the graves of a mother and her child,
both murdered by a drunk driver. The drunk driver lived, but he murdered
a pregnant mother and her unborn child. I saw the father's uncontrollable
tears. I saw the heartbroken family. I saw the little white coffin being
lowered into a small grave alongside it's mother. That is something I will
never forget. Alcohol is
inherently EVIL!
One of the biggest problems is corporate greed
that has made booze a Madison Avenue product, marketing beer to America's
youth as something they cannot live without. Beer commercials feature young,
healthy, and energetic people having fun while drinking booze. It sends the
wrong message to young people. The message conveyed by beer advertisements
is that drinking alcohol brings social acceptance and good times. In reality
booze brings addiction to people who NEVER intended to become addicted.
Alcohol is highly addictive, which is reason enough to abstain from it
completely. I've seen alcohol addiction drive men to steal, drink
paint-thinner, and get drunk with every dollar they could get their hands
on. The Bible is filled with Scriptures condemning alcohol drinking...
Alcohol brings death and destruction, but the
beer companies never show you that. The Devil always shows young people the
neon lights, not the rehabilitation centers and graveyards. Jesus said that
the Devil is a liar, thief, and murderer who only comes to kill, steal, and
destroy (John 10:10; 8:44).
"Who hath woe? who hath sorrow? who hath
contentions? who hath babbling? who hath wounds without cause? who hath
redness of eyes? They that tarry long at the wine; they that go to
seek mixed wine. Look not thou upon the wine when it is red, when it
giveth his colour in the cup, when it moveth itself aright. At the
last it biteth like a serpent, and stingeth like an adder. Thine eyes
shall behold strange women, and thine heart shall utter perverse things. Yea, thou shalt be as he that lieth down in the midst of the sea, or as he
that lieth upon the top of a mast. They have stricken me, shalt thou
say, and I was not sick; they have beaten me, and I felt it not: when shall
I awake? I will seek it yet again." —Proverb 23:29-35
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."

"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
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. Most deaths caused by alcohol are directly the result of BEER drinking, not
hard liquor. ALL types of alcoholic drinks need to be banned from
American society. America needs Billy Sundays to rise up all
across this once great nation, preaching uncompromisingly hard and loud
against the sin of drinking alcohol.

God hates beer because it causes
so much misery, death, and heartbreak.
"The American
mongoose is the open licensed saloon. It eats the carpets off the floor and
the clothes from off your back, your money out of the bank, and it eats up
character, and it goes on until at last it leaves a stranded wreck in the
home, a skeleton of what was once brightness and happiness." —Evangelist
Billy Sunday

tragedy are knocking at your door if you are a beer drinker. It's just a

The above picture speaks 1,000 words. The beer industry hypocritically tells
teens not to drink alcohol until they are 21, while those same companies
saturate American culture with booze, booze, booze! Consequently, underaged
drinking is an epidemic problem in America!

in vision, they stumble in judgment.”
