I think some of you need to realize the escape is the problem, alcohol is just the aide. People can choose to consume alcohol in various quantities for different lengths of time and be just fine. A person can drink alot for four years and then choose not to, ever again without being labeled alcoholic or anything. It’s going to depend on behavior.

Usually full blown alcoholics that 12 step, become hooked on god. why? because in their lives they need something to “settle the nerves” so to speak. If Jesus does it in the same way a half gallon does, bully for them.

I think some here who are so down on alcohol miss the issue. Alcoholic beverages are a choice of consumption, like fish, beef or poultry. It’s something you can injest for pleasure. With anything from chocolate, coffee, burgers, a person can overdo. But the root cause isn’t the food or beverage. It’s the complusion to overuse.
