Drinking game

When you are drunk, you will do anything you never thought you will ever do. You start doing table dancing, start kissing everyone you meet in the bar, telling your life story to strangers...

I never knew my limit until I drank myself silly once, "I can handle another one!" I thought to myself when I was already at the edge foolish enough not to think about the consequence. Yup, you are right, I lost it totally, I was gone!! I totally lost memories of what was happening that night, I woke up with tissues lying all around my face!! It was really yuck!

So how to drink responsibly? You don't need to drink until you can't stand still to know you got to stop, you don't need to get drunk like me to learn how much you can really handle. Golden rules are: Don't mix drinks, don't drink too fast and do not accept drinks offered to you by strangers! (thats probably called spiking...haha)

So if you know drinking could make you act and talk silly, then should you still drink? Of course you can! You can still enjoy a glass or two while with friends and over at dinner.

So what did the bible say about alcohol and drinking?

The bible didn't teach us that drinking is a sin, "the son of Man came eating and drinking..." (Matthew 11: 19) and Jesus drank with his disciplies at the passover (Luke 22: 15-18). Jesus even turn water into wine (John 2: 7-8) at a wedding at Cana in Galilee.
The scripture teaches us to behave decently and not in drunkenness (Roman 13: 13). For we know that when we are drunk we are taken control over by alcohol and not filled by the Holy spirit for which getting drunk on wine "leads to debauchery" (Ephesians 5: 18)

So drink responsibly and please do not drink and drive!
