Hey Daniel,
First, I am not a prude – or Baptist, for that matter!
Second, I drink – too much, sometimes!
The reasons that you shouldn’t drink:
Alcohol is a solvent (you use a form of grain alcohol ((The kind you drink, just much stronger)) to clean paint brushes after using oil based paint – If alcohol dissolves oil, what do you think it does to your system? )
Alcohol makes your liver work extra hard to remove it from your system. Your liver removes poisons – If your liver removes poisons, and alcohol is so great, why is your liver removing it?
When you work out a particular muscle, it gets bigger, except the liver, when you “work out” your liver, it becomes scarred.
Alcohol impairs judgment! Everything from your ability to drive to your ability to remember. Can you imagine trying to get out of a burning building when you are drunk?
All that I have said – there are some good things about alcohol!
Red wine provides lipids that help your blood carry oxygen as well as help your body fight certain forms of disease.
Beer is said to be beneficial in aiding digestion.
The Actor George Burns had a Whiskey on the rocks, every night, and he lived to be 99!
So I guess the good news is…
IN MODERATION!
Good Drinking!
James in San Diego
