Spilled Rum
Life generally becomes what we make of it.
Alcohol has been the downfall of many a good man or woman. Somehow some people do not realize that they will change and become confused and lost by trying to lose their problems through drink. The Bible tells us a drunkard will not be in God's Kingdom (1 Corinthians 6:10). The Bible teaches moderation and strongly condemns alcohol abuse (1 Timothy 5:23; Galatians 5:21).
A man once wrote, "He that spills the rum loses that only; he that drinks it, often loses both that and himself." As with so many things in life, the proper use of it is what makes the difference. Food, drink and sex are three areas in which humans need to exhibit self-control in order to avoid problems and benefit to the greatest degree. That takes wisdom and character. For some, it may require avoiding alcohol altogether.
