Somehow, America got on through the 19th century without demonizing any intoxicant. It seemed like such an easy, such a facile remedy to social ills to ascribe demonic attributes to something like rum, which never leaped unbidden unto someone’s soul.
The bible clearly points out that humanity’s genuine interest is not in fighting “flesh and blood” or “things that perish with use” but a literal kingdom of hell made up of literal demons that have their own military structure of authority and which besiege the world. They can no more be banned by human law than the tides of the ocean can. They can only be fought by inviting God into each and every personal heart.
