1.) Isaiah 5:11 Destruction is certain for you who get up early to begin long drinking bouts that last late into the night.
2.) Proverbs 20:1 Wine produces mockers; liquor leads to brawls. Whoever is led astray by drink cannot be wise.
3.) Proverbs 23:29 Who has anguish? Who has sorrow? Who is always fighting? Who is always complaining? Who has unnecessary bruises? Who has bloodshot eyes? 30 It is the one who spends long hours in the taverns, trying out new drinks. 31 Don't let the sparkle and smooth taste of wine deceive you. 32 For in the end it bites like a poisonous serpent; it stings like a viper. 33 You will see hallucinations, and you will say crazy things. 34 You will stagger like a sailor tossed at sea, clinging to a swaying mast. 35 And you will say, "They hit me, but I didn't feel it. I didn't even know it when they beat me up. When will I wake up so I can have another drink?"
4.) Proverbs 31:6 Liquor is for the dying, and wine for those in deep depression.
5.) Alcohol and drug use even if used for a short period of time, like one year, could set a person back 30 yrs; 40 yrs and even a lifetime, in terms of academics, career, sports, friends, family, and self realization.
6.) It is not good to let your children see their parents engaging in drug and alcohol use in the home or in public. Thus, it is necessary to teach children not to use drugs and alcohol, from an early age, and supplement those lessons with the parents examples, of abstinence, in the home and in life.
7.) And one of the last reasons that I should not use alcohol is because I already have 16 years without a drop of alcohol use and only 1 beer in 20 years (I think it was 1 Becks Dark).
