my beer drinking buddies are dropping like flies, but the scotch drinkers are hanging in

figures. I was a beer drinker. I realized when I was about 30 that I would not make 50 if I kept drinking beer. I liked scotch too much. It went down too smooth and easy. Then i’d black out like I’d been bushwacked so I stayed away from that.

But I’d built up a lot of beer drinking momentum by age 30. I could do a couple sixes and still walk home. Probably drank a condo or two’s worth. So it took me ten years to quit. Quit at 40. Went to AA. Had my come to Jesus moment.

Now I’m free of alcohol. Oh except for fits now again. You know they say wine is good for the heart. So I started drinking a glass of red wine before bed.

One night I sucked down a whole bottle. Next day I rose from the dead. Hard work. Took me all day and into the next before I saw the light.

It grieves me to say I just can’t go to hell and back anymore. I need Jesus for that. Praise him. Praise his holy name.

Lordy.

Now I do understand that that’s just me. You may well have a stronger, even a better constitution than me. The Lord bless you. May you live long and prosper.
