WHY DRINK ?

Specifically referring to strong Drinks; which are drinks containing alcohol. Such drinks usually make a human being to be intoxicated or overcome.

We should never attempt anything before making a thorough sincere search of the effects thereafter from reliable sources.

It is a costly and risky business to trade your life on mere assumptions or on facts which are baseless.

Hence,  we do our best, to examine the creator’s opinion on the issue of strong drink as revealed in His holy  Word.

ANCIENT DRINKERS

Around 2100 BC,  some daughters made their father drunk and committed immorality with their father!

The effect of wine made Lot to “perceive not”  (Gen.19:33), in the first day.

The next day,… the daughters made their father drunk again, and they made him to lie with the younger daughter, and he perceived not!. (Gen. 19:35)

Let us learn from this; if Lot did not perceive in the first day, and in the second day,… do you think we shall be able to perceive in the ‘third day’, when we are made drunk by the many daughters around us, i.e. radios, music, TV, money thirst “daughters” ??… Obviously No!
