Drunk People are Funny

Try to impress people with your drinking skills and you will end up being the laugh of the party. It doesn’t take much ability to get drunk since apparently any fool can do it so it’s curious why some seem to find it so impressive. Getting wasted never solved anyone’s problems except the owner of the liquor store. Just a few random observations after watching some people get lit to celebrate things in life that make them happy when they are not soused. Don’t get me wrong I’m not trying to condescending but humorous. It is funny when you think about it. People get drunk to celebrate what makes them feel good and pretty soon they don’t feel good. They drink on memorable occasions and then they can’t remember the occasion. Technically the Bible does not say not to drink otherwise we would all get dehydrated and delirious. Hey, we could accomplish the same thing by not drinking that we do by drinking. But the Bible does say not to get drunk. It’s one thing to have a drink to celebrate but it becomes a problem when you celebrate the drinking. So what do you think? Is drinking a sin? In and of its self, I don’t think so. But if you get drunk you will surely act stupid and end up sinning sooner or probably later when you are more out of it and that’s what really destroys your life. If you do things you wouldn’t do in your right mind you probably won’t like the results. And you might temporarily feel right about it until you return to the rational realm and then you’ll just have regrets. So anyway I’m just rambling and laughing at and making fun of the insanity of people getting polluted. After all it’s only fair they are always joking about the sensible sane and sober. Ha,ha

Prov 23:29-35

29 Who are the people who are always crying the blues?
Who do you know who reeks of self-pity?
Who keeps getting beat up for no reason at all?
Whose eyes are bleary and bloodshot?
30 It's those who spend the night with a bottle,
for whom drinking is serious business.
31 Don't judge wine by its label,
or its bouquet, or its full-bodied flavor.
32 Judge it rather by the hangover it leaves you with —
the splitting headache, the queasy stomach.
33 Do you really prefer seeing double,
with your speech all slurred,
34 Reeling and seasick,
drunk as a sailor?
35 "They hit me," you'll say, "but it didn't hurt;
they beat on me, but I didn't feel a thing.
When I'm sober enough to manage it,
bring me another drink!"
MES

Prov 23:29-35
29 Who has woe?
Who has sorrow?
Who has contentions?
Who has complaints?
Who has wounds without cause?
Who has redness of eyes?
30 Those who linger long at the wine,
Those who go in search of mixed wine.
31 Do not look on the wine when it is red,
When it sparkles in the cup,
When it swirls around smoothly;
32 At the last it bites like a serpent,
And stings like a viper.
33 Your eyes will see strange things,
And your heart will utter perverse things.
34 Yes, you will be like one who lies down in the midst of the sea,
Or like one who lies at the top of the mast, saying:
35 "They have struck me, but I was not hurt;
They have beaten me, but I did not feel it.
When shall I awake, that I may seek another drink?"
NKJV

Prov 20:1
20 Wine is a mocker,
Strong drink is a brawler,
And whoever is led astray by it is not wise.
NKJV

Prov 31:4-7
4 It is not for kings, O Lemuel,
It is not for kings to drink wine,
Nor for princes intoxicating drink;
5 Lest they drink and forget the law,
And pervert the justice of all the afflicted.
6 Give strong drink to him who is perishing,
And wine to those who are bitter of heart.
7 Let him drink and forget his poverty,
And remember his misery no more.
NKJV

Eph 5:18-21
18 And do not be drunk with wine, in which is dissipation; but be filled with the Spirit, 19 speaking to one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing and making melody in your heart to the Lord, 20 giving thanks always for all things to God the Father in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ,
NKJV

Eph 5:18-19
Don't drink too much wine. That cheapens your life. Drink the Spirit of God, huge draughts of him.
