    Isn't that a totally contradictory statement? You accuse me of "defending my buzz" -- an effect I do not have a drink or two to get -- and then claim you haven't said anything about "any drinking gets you buzzed"? How's that work?

    See, if I'm not drinking to get buzzed, nor am I getting buzzed, how can I be "defending my buzz"? Please explain ...

    How many people are able to drive after eating an entire large pizza themselves or after fornicating?

    I am still looking to where in the Bible God just flat out forbidden drinking any alcohol!

    I never have drank, but not going to go crazy on someone who has a cup of wine, or a cold beer while having lunch!

    If you actually read what I posted, back in the days of this country's forefathers it was not only perfectly acceptable but actually required. Fast forward to the late 1800's and suddenly the same establishments were considered bad.

    If anything it had to do with the industrial revolution. People had begun to basically live in taverns during their free time. They would go to work and be exploited for 14-16 hours, and all they wanted to do afterwards was to go get sloshed at the bar and try to bury the pain and hopelessness. The thing was, they would even bring their kids inside, and due to really no underage drinking laws, the kids would get sloshed too. People during this time period would literally have "gin breaks" instead of coffee breaks, while working on heavy machinery. Of course it should be no surprised that quite a few of them would get mangled in the machines.

    Point is, the "taverns are evil" mentality is left over from this time period. If you go back another 100 years, it just wasn't like that at all.

    If he is that upstanding of a person, I'm sure he can take a little ribbing in regards to his mad spelling skillz. Chill a little.

    I don't think that beer and wine drinking is an issue per se. drunkenness is an issue. And more than likely, your pastor may want to join them. hahaha

    Drinking is not a sin. Drunkenness is.

    This is not a drinking issue. This is a basic lack of understanding of how "church discipline" should work.

    On the OP, they probably just came from a deacons meet and that has driven them to drink.
