Drink Up

The heading for the newspaper article read, “Fired Ellsworth Police Chief, Suspected of Working Drunk, Opening Brewery.” How come people who are deceived by drink can use the same substance to put others in jeopardy?  It goes along with the definition of the quote, “Insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results.” That former police chief will be a real help in putting people into the same kind of shame he experienced.

Does the Bible address this? Glad you asked.

Habakkuk 2:15

“Woe to him who makes his neighbors drink— you pour out your wrath and make them drunk, in order to gaze at their nakedness!

Proverbs 20:1

Wine is a mocker, strong drink a brawler,
and whoever is led astray by it is not wise.

Stay away from embarrassment; stick with diet coke. Give it some thought.
