Sober Minded In Every Sense Of The Term

In the April-May-June, 2012, Volume 43, No. 2 Issue of the brotherhood publication, “Think On These Things,” brother David Diestelkamp has written an above titled article.

As  brother Diestelkamp so adroitly points out in his good article:

“Researchers at the University of California San Diego reviewed 14 years of accident data and found that “A blood alcohol concentration of just 0.01 percent was associated with risky behaviors such as speeding.” Lead researcher, David P. Phillips, Ph.D. says, “For a 180 pound person, that translates to one glass of wine or a bottle of beer.” (Better Homes And Gardens, November 2011, pg 184).

Brother Diestelkamp concludes his article with an astute observation:

"The world wants us to be wise drivers. After even one drink, we are not fit to drive home. Impaired thinking will not get us to an eternal home of glory either. Be wise. “Wine is a mocker, strong drink is a brawler, and whoever is led astray by it is not wise” (Proverbs 20:1).
