breaking the speed limit
looking at other women
I remember many years ago at assemblies, during the final talk the elder always made it a point to remind us to observe Caesar's laws and obey the speed limit on the way home. I remember passing everybody on the way home as they plodded along at the speed limit and I was 10 to 15 over. Never got in trouble with the elders for it though. I did get plenty of tickets in my hot rod days, but never got counseled from the elders.
Looking at other women. The key word there is "other" which implies that there is "a" woman to begin with. If that's the case it don't matter whether you're a JW or not. You look at "other" women and get caught, you're gonna be in trouble. That was the best thing about being a microphone handler back in the day. Got to look down many a blouse of the hottie sisters.

Then why "drink"? Or do you mean over-intoxication? u/d (of the mildly intoxicated class)

Yep, I remember parts at assemblies and the hall where it was stated that if you drank enough to feel anything from the alcohol then you have had too much. It was even stated that if our tolerance was not that good for alcohol that we might want to consider not drinking at all.
This was so emphatically stated in our area (rural South USA) that my parents (well my mother anyway) took it to mean that you shouldn't or couldn't drink. We got in a big argument when I turned 18 (legal age back in the last ice age) and I brought beer home. She went nuts and started whipping out all of these WT articles to prove her point. I used the same articles to prove that drinking was not condemned but she would have none of it. She has softened over the years but only keeps a bottle of wine in the house for special occasions. She rolls her eyes and clucks her tongue when she comes to my house and sees I have a refrigerator especially designated for beer.

Who you can date.
I got counseld when I was studying about dating a pioneer sister. Guess she did too, cause she wouldn't return any of my phone call afterwards. What's up with that?
