		<description>First, I commend you for referencing the fact that we are to act responsible around others.

Second, I believe that Psalms explains what happens when individuals indulge in overconsumption of alcohol.

With this said, my conviction is that I would be letting down the youth in my church, if they saw me drinking.  I want them to have someone who they can depend on to live a strong and victorious life.  To show them what it is like to have a strong marriage.

I do not believe that any alcoholic believed they would end up as an alcoholic.  However, they took thier first drink and so on.  What makes us so different from that person.  As an american, I am taught that I can do what I want as long as I hurt no one else.  What they do not tell me is how I can not control the consequences of my actions.

Doesn&#039;t drinking kill brain cells?  Doesn&#039;t drugs kill brain cells?  Where is the difference?  Of coarse, doctors say a drink a day keeps the ........ away.  When do we get our brain cells back?

Furthermore, how many drug addicts do we believe first started on heroin?  I would say that most probably started drinking and ended up an addict for some reason or another over time.

So, my conviction is not to drink.
