Winston Churchill arrived in the United States for a long (40 stop) lecture tour in December of 1931, and shortly after his arrival was struck by a car while crossing the street.
A cab carried him off to Lenox Hill Hospital where he was treated for a deep gash to the head, a fractured nose, fractured ribs, and severe shock. He spent two weeks in the hospital, where he also developed pleurisy.
Six weeks after the accident, he resumed an reduced 14-stop version of the tour, despite his fears that he would prove unfit. Dr. Otto Pickhardt, Lenox Hill’s admitting physician, came to the rescue by issuing Churchill the Get Out of Prohibition Free Pass, as pictured below. The text:
…the post-accident convalescence of the Hon. Winston S. Churchill necessitates the use of alcoholic spirits especially at meal times. The quantity is naturally indefinite but the minimum requirements would be 250 cubic centimeters.
Practicing drunks will not go to heaven.....Where in the NT did you get that shiite? I’m NOT a practicing drunk, I’m a professional at it. Methinks you interpret your Bible to suit your own ends. Do you wear a hijab? What color?
Those who accept Christ are no longer “practicing”. Though being mere humans, they may slip from time to time.
No argument. I agree
No one is stopping you, except the Muslims and progressives. Enjoy your drunkeness! But know that it was God who established that drunkards will not go to heaven (1 Cor 6:9). Now, leave me alone...I have a date with my wife tonight and I will enjoy a glass of wine.
I enjoy a glass of wine or beer from time to time. Being a a drunkard is different. At least that is the way God sees it (1 Cor 6:9)
