I say avoid drunkenness. Avoid gluttony. Avoid overindulgence in anything. If you can't control yourself, avoid alcohol.
When I'm a grandpa, I won't care what they say. On some rainy Saturday mornings I'm going to go out to the back porch, spend some time in prayer and study the Word...with a nice warm pipe and a glass of brandy. I'm going to smile and thank God for blessing me with a life so wondrous and a freedom so scandalous...it blinds those who say they can see.
God bless. And goodnight.
