Getting drunk a sin? (page 3)

Good to hear you are going Ballistic!

Drunkennes and gluttony are indeed equal in my book. I don't however think that drunkeness and an occasional over the top incident are the same thing. I'd equate a night of over the top drinking with going to a buffet and eating more than you meant to. In either instance you'll pay for it later so that should be enough punishment. Drinking until you're passed out drunk on a daily basis is differant. That's not healthy for you or anyone around you. Same goes for gluttony! Has anyone seen "What's Eating Gilbert Grape"?

Personaly I enjoy tyeing one on now and then. I like the drink called a "Lemon Drop" Or just some 12 year old Scotch. A beer is Ok, but it bloats me.

Getting drunk no, wasting your life yes.

Aztec...did see that movie..really enjoyed it.....

I remember when going to the hall when I was a kid on a Sunday morning, the smell of old booze when I walked into that place ( not all, but quite a few)....It was like a combo of listeren and beer......I dont know what it was, but are hall was known for big drinkers....

By the time I hit 14, I thought it was pretty much the norm for people to drink on a regular bases...

The impression it left on young adolescence was to much for some....I can speak on behalf of them..

It is a total joke now when I look back at what they thought was so christan like......They had know problem giving such young teens booze, but god forbid if you did not go out on service enough or missed a Sunday meeting...

Every now and then getting "lit" is kind of nice. I like wine b/c I get a nice warm glow. But just every now and then. I hope to have use of my liver for a few more years.

Getting drunk is definitely not a sin, and neither is smoking marijuana. But, as stated, if you over-indulge everyday all the time, than it's extremely bad for your health. I used to be a pot head and although it's not as bad as getting drunk everyday, it's not good for you. As a personal experience, the elders brought me in the back room twice for smoking pot (which I admitted to doing) and both times because of congregation politics, they let me off without any punishment at all.
