10 Reasons Why I
Drink
1. I love to vomit.
2. It makes my children respect me.
3. My wife loves my whiskey breath and beer-bleary eyes.
4. Drunkards and saloon-keepers make the best citizens.
5. It helps me win the safe-driving award.
6. I want to encourage juvenile delinquency.
7. It helps me think more clearly.
8. It's my way of saving money.
9. I hope to live in a "flophouse" on Skid Row some day.
10. It's my way of obeying God, who says, "Wine is a mocker, strong drink
is raging; and whosoever is deceived thereby is not wise." - Proverbs 20:1
"I KNOW WHEN TO STOP!"
Sure. You're smart. You can take it. You know when you've had
enough. That's - what every drunken bum said at one time. But the time to stop
was before he took the first drink. Now he's lost his money, his home, his
family, his respect, his health. And his mind's going. Visit him at 8th &
Ridge, or on the Skid Row of your city. See him begging for money. Look at his
eyes, his shaking fingers. Talk to him. He was a doctor, a lawyer, a real estate
broker, a college graduate, , an athlete. Now he's an alcoholic. He didn't want
to be a wallflower. He wanted to sow his wild oats. He got too big for Sunday
School. He listened to an atheistic, evolutionist, college professor, educated
beyond his intelligence. The Bible?- Full of fairy tales. Read sex books instead.
You're only an animal. Live like one.
NOW LOOK IN THE MIRROR
You are that person 5, 10, 20 years from now - or sooner. Unless you wake up.
God declares, "Whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap."
Galatians 6:7. You are on the toboggan. So is America. Americans drank 83
million barrels of beer in 1 year. Americans spent in 1 year $8,760,000,000 for
intoxicating liquors against $5,010,236,000 for public school education. Unless
we stop, God will curse America!
HOW TO QUIT
Pray, right now. Ask God to forgive you for your wickedness and
open your heart to the Son of God, Jesus Christ. Ask Him to cleanse you, to save
your soul, and make you a real Christian. Read your Bible daily and urge others
to seek the Lord while He may be found.
"I can do all things through Christ which
strengtheneth me." -Philippians 4:13
