My adopted brother has Fetal Alcohol Syndrome. There is no way on earth I would ever risk that for my child.
We belong to a fundamental Baptist church & if they knew I had wine every night they would probably remove me from membership roles. I think that is a silly and wrong interpretation of scripture. My husband, who used to have a few beers with his fellow coaches once a week, quit drinking completely when we started attending this church. I never drank anything due to several pregnancies, but just this week bought some wine.
My mom had a massive heart attack at age 51 and since she wasn’t in any high risk category (age, weight, etc) they tested her for elevated levels of Lpa. She was very high, I was tested as well and was double the maximum “normal” level at the age of 30. Alcohol is literally the only thing they know that lowers your Lpa levels.
At the age of 40 I think I can now start drinking wine at night, it doesn’t make my husband happy, but he loves me more than our church’s rules.
Your post reminds me of an old joke.
Jews don’t recognize the primacy of Jesus, Roman Catholics don’t recognize the primacy of the Orthodox Patriarch, Protestants don’t recognize the primacy of the Pope, and Baptists don’t recognize each other in the liquor store.
I know, a bad joke...
