    Here is an interesting article for you to read:
    http://news.ca.msn.com/local/novascotia/energy-drink-ban-for-minors-urged-by-doctors-1
    --The Canadian Medical Association is requesting the provincial governments across Canada to enforce a ban on caffeinated beverages, especially power drinks, on ALL minors. The caffeine in these drinks is quite a bit and is being misused.
    Not too long ago, in a water-drinking contest, shortly after the context a woman died. Of what? Drinking too much water!
    --It seems quite evident that you don't want to take the Greek and Hebrew words for wine, or even the English word in their various contexts for what they mean. You simply want to say that one word has one meaning all the time, when that isn't true. That being the case you remain very naive.

    Be a bit more knowledgeable. Here are a number of links you can study:

    http://www.andrewcorbett.net/articles/alcohol.htm

    http://www.swartzentrover.com/cotor/Bible/Doctrines/Holiness/Drugs%20&%20Alcohol/Wine-Drinking%20in%20New%20Testament%20Times.htm

    http://www.tektonics.org/lp/nowine.html

    http://www.johnhamelministries.org/wine_lie_Jesus.htm

    http://www.lwbc.co.uk/Feet/a_biblical_perspective_on_the_us.htm

    http://www.lwbc.co.uk/wine.htm

    It is apparent when Lot or Noah drank wine it was not the same "wine" that Jesus created at Cana. It was much stronger, stronger than what the Lord would have permitted, stronger than the average beverage. If a person wants to get drunk he obviously can, but not on the average drink that even a child drinks.

    Or do you feed your children the wine you buy from the liquor store, a beer or two, some scotch and rye, and perhaps some whiskey as well? Is that what you do with small children?
    Or do you want to admit that the average "wine" that the family drank was far different than the average "wine" that is sold today?

    I’d guess that most of us would not give wine to our children – but it is because of our culture not some inherent sense of morals concerning the beverage. - I recall that in Germany children often drank wine with meals. But the women also went to the public pools topless – hence my wife’s prohibition concerning going to the schwimmbad :smilewinkgrin:

    So why don't you guys pass a law on the penalty of death for consuming anything but water.

    Who is "you guys?"
    That contest was in America. "You guys" are always the ones to hold such foolish contests--i.e. hotdog eating contest, watermelon spitting contest, etc.

    My point was simply that anything can be misused or abused: whether it be the making of alcohol (as Noah did), the consumption of water, or even the use of caffeine.

    Yes, America has an imagination beyond staring at pictures of royalty.
