The Hypocrisy of Underage Drinking Warnings

By David J. Stewart

Mothers Against Drunk Drivers (MADD) and numerous other organizations are spending lots of money in an effort to warn teenagers about the dangers of "Underage Drinking." I heard a radio commercial the other day that made a big deal about the "dangers" of Underage Drinking; but what about the dangers of Adult Drinking? 

To only focus upon Underage Drinking is a BIG LIE because it gives the wrongful impression that it acceptable for ADULTS to drink alcohol, and it's certainly not. Children are going to follow in their parents footsteps. If parents drink beer, so will their kids. If it's ok for mom and dad to get "buzzed" on alcohol, then their teens are going to do the same. It's utterly hypocritical for adults to make a big issue of Underage Drinking to their kids, while getting buzzed themselves from the beer they consume. 

Of course, the Bible condemns "strong drink" (Proverb 20:1). However, without even addressing the Bible, there's a preponderance of evidence showing that alcohol is a deadly drug. Alcohol is a mind-altering drug! This is why alcohol was outlawed in the 1920s. Tragically, Americans refused to part with their desire to get "buzzed" and the Prohibition Law was repealed in 1933. 

Adult Drinking is just as dangerous as Underage Drinking, and this is the message that needs to be taught to teens. 

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!

Scriptures Condemning Drinking Strong Drink

Judges 13:4, “Now therefore beware, I pray thee, and drink not wine nor strong drink, and eat not any unclean thing.”

1st Samuel 1:15, “And Hannah answered and said, No, my lord, I am a woman of a sorrowful spirit: I have drunk neither wine nor strong drink, but have poured out my soul before the LORD.”

Proverb:20:1, “Wine is a mocker, strong drink is raging: and whosoever is deceived thereby is not wise.”

Proverb 31:4, “It is not for kings, O Lemuel, it is not for kings to drink wine; nor for princes strong drink.”

Isaiah 5:22, “Woe unto them that are mighty to drink wine, and men of strength to mingle strong drink.”

Isaiah 24:9, “They shall not drink wine with a song; strong drink shall be bitter to them that drink it.”

Isaiah 28:7, “But they also have erred through wine, and through strong drink are out of the way; the priest and the prophet have erred through strong drink, they are swallowed up of wine, they are out of the way through strong drink; they err in vision, they stumble in judgment.”
