Should I cut back on drinking?

Question

Sometimes when I reflect back on all the wine I drink
I feel shame Then I look into the glass and think
about the workers in the vineyards and all of their hopes
and dreams. If I didn't drink this wine, they might be out
of work and their dreams would be shattered. Then I say
to myself, "It is better that I drink this wine and let their
dreams come true than be selfish and worry about my liver."

Answer 1

your pete.....you make me larf!!!!

No, I know exactly where my underwear is ..erm, I thought I left 'em there!!!!! oops

Listen .. red wine is good for you (ok, not a bottle, but a wee glass, although one can never stop at just ONE glass, as it's just sooooo moorish) lol

Anyway, if your worried about any liver damage.....MILK THISTLE!

It cleanses the liver and helps to clear out all the toxins.

So you can open that bottle and enjoy, knowing that the people who produce it are fulfilling there hopes and dreams and you can selfishly worry about your liver too!

Cute.

From one whose mother and grandmother were alcoholics, and whose mother's brain deteriorated to that of a 10-year-old, please take this seriously:

Effect of Obedience to Prophetic Commands

The bearing on health of these commands relating to the simple life, hygiene, abstinence from alcohol and opium, etcetera, is too obvious to call for much comment, although their vital importance is apt to be greatly underestimated. Were they to be generally observed, most of the infectious diseases and a good many others would soon vanish from among men. The amount of illness caused by neglect of simple hygienic precautions and by indulgence in alcohol and opium is prodigious. Moreover, obedience to these commands would not only affect health, but would have an enormous effect for good on character and conduct. Alcohol and opium affect a man’s conscience long before they affect his gait or cause obvious bodily disease, so that the moral spiritual gain from abstinence would be even greater than the physical. With regard to cleanliness, ‘Abdu’l-Bahá says:—“External cleanliness, although it is but a physical thing, has great influence upon spirituality. … The fact of having a pure and spotless body exercises an influence upon the spirit of man.”

Were the commands of the Prophets concerning chastity in sexual relations generally observed, another fertile cause of disease would be eliminated. The loathsome venereal diseases, which wreck the health of so many thousands today, innocent as well as guilty, babes as well as parents, would very soon be entirely a thing of the past. 105

Were the commands of the Prophets concerning justice, mutual aid, loving one’s neighbor as oneself, carried out, how could overcrowding, sweated labor and sordid poverty on the one hand, together with self-indulgence, idleness and sordid luxury on the other, continue to work mental, moral and physical ruin?

Simple obedience to the hygienic and moral commands of Moses, Buddha, Christ, Muhammad or Bahá’u’lláh would do more in the way of preventing disease than all the doctors and all the public health regulations in the world have been able to accomplish. In fact, it seems certain that were such obedience general, good health would also become general. Instead of lives being blighted by disease of cut off in infancy, youth or prime, as so frequently happens now, men would live to a ripe old age, like sound fruits that mature and mellow ere they drop from the bough.

Answer 5

I think you should. The fact that you bought the wine has made the workers at the vinyard happy. You should drink sensibly, and in moderation.

Good work by the vinyard workers. They deserve a round of applause. Ill drink to that!

Answer 6

So why not drink the wine say one day a week. eg make friday wine day. then you can still drink your wine and save the wine making people and not worry that your killing your liver in the process.

Answer 7

it all depends on why you drink...

if you drink to enjoy and remember the wine.. carry on

if you drink to forget.. then cut down or stop!!

and i constantly wonder what the hell happened to my underwear, even without alcohol!!
hehe

Answer 8

Answer 9

You make more sense p*ssed than most of the people who use yahoo answers do when they're sober! So keep drinking. Cheers.

Answer 10

just don't drink and drive

assuming you are over the legal age for drinking, then why not? you obviously know the dangers of drinking and everytime you take a sip you do it voluntarily

enjoy, but not too excess (you never know where your undies will turn up)
