Alcohol Is Deadly
By David J. Stewart

The
facts are irrefutable... ALCOHOL IS A DEADLY MENACE TO SOCIETY! Would
to God that alcoholic beverages were outlawed completely.
As typical
of humanity, most people don't care until it hurts them personally.
Direct costs of alcohol-related crashes are estimated to be
$114 billion yearly. The amount of tax-revenue generated by the sale of
alcoholic beverages doesn't even compare to the costly burden placed upon
tax-payers by the evils caused by alcohol.
Alcohol is far more deadly than most people think. According to CNN medical correspondent Dr. Steve Salvatore...
It doesn't take much
Actually, a driver can be impaired with a
U.S. blood-alcohol level as low as .03.
When you drink alcohol, it goes straight from the stomach to the
bloodstream. Alcohol can be detected in the blood as fast as five
minutes after drinking, and its effects - most obvious in the central
nervous system - peak in about 30 to 45 minutes.
Alcohol depresses the central nervous system which, in turn, impairs
motor function, motor performance, speech and eye movements. These
skills are not only slowed down, they are performed more inaccurately.
Alcohol also affects the ability to think and reason clearly.

Do you see the great DECEPTION of the .08
BAC legal limit? At just .05 BAC, the human body is already
experiencing impairment of coordination. This is serious folks!
What is wrong with our legislatures? Are they brain dead?
Get this ... our very SAME government which sets the BAC legal limit at
.08, also states the following...
"The National
Highway Traffic Safety Administration's (NHTSA) position on the relationship
between blood alcohol concentration and driving is that driving performance
degrades after just one drink."

Am I missing something here? If the NHTSA (our
government) admits that even ONE ALCOHOLIC DRINK degrades a person's driving
performance, then why in the name of common sense doesn't our government's
lawmakers lower the BAC to equate to ONE DRINK? Tragically, our
government leaders are playing games with people's lives, and people ARE
DYING!
Alcohol tastes and feels good, but is
rotten to the core! |

For the purposes of this
chart, “One Drink” =12 oz. Beer or 4 oz. Wine or 1
1/4 oz. 80-Proof Liquor. If you prefer 18 oz.
cans of beer or 90-Proof Liquor, you need a
different chart!
|
|
|
BAC of .01%
to .05%
NOTE THAT FOR MANY PEOPLE, ONLY “ONE” DRINK
WILL TAKE THEM TO THIS LEVEL OF DECREASED COORDINATION.
|
Some-to-great loss of judgment and
coordination, thinking dulled, changes in mood and
behavior. A
BAC of 0.02% at many U.S. companies will require that an
employee be relieved of duty for 24 hours and at 0.04 they
will be fired. In
an organization with a "zero-tolerance" policy as regards
alcohol use, you will be fired if you test at 0.001% (which is
less than 0.010%) |
|
|
|
|
BAC of .05%
to .08%
NOTE THAT EVERYONE HAS REACHED THIS
POINT AFTER JUST THEIR 1ST OR 2ND
DRINK! |
Functioning
ability definitely impaired.
Walking, speech, and hand movements clumsy. Blurred,
split, or tunnel vision may occur. Judgment and equipment
operating ability impaired. Chance of accident is greatly
increased by up to 300% or more.
|
|
|
|
|
BAC of .08%
and over
NOTE THAT
SOME PEOPLE REACH THIS POINT BY THEIR 2ND DRINK AND
ALL HAVE BY THEIR 3RD OR
4TH. |
Functioning and
judgment very seriously affected. Responses greatly
slowed. Behavior greatly affected. Very high risk of accident.
In most U.S. States, with a BAC of .08% or higher, you will be
arrested if driving a car.

levels in each U.S. State at which you will be (and should be!)
arrested if you are caught driving a
car while under the influence of alcohol. |
As anyone can clearly see from the chart above,
having even ONE 12oz. DRINK of beer can cause a person weighing over 200 LBS.
to have a BAC of up to .05!!! What strikes me as strange, and a definite
double-standard, is that many companies will fire an employee who comes to
work with a BAC of .04% or more; but the legal system won't do anything to
punish that person for driving under the influence until their BAC hits .08.
Why the double-standard? Why are private companies more concerned about
their employees than our government's lawmakers are about it's own people who
entrusted them to power? Something smells rotten in Washington!

Scriptures Condemning Drinking Strong Drink...
Judges 13:4, “Now therefore beware, I pray thee, and
drink not wine nor strong drink, and eat not any unclean thing.”
1st Samuel 1:15, “And Hannah answered and said, No, my lord, I am a
woman of a sorrowful spirit: I have drunk neither wine nor strong drink, but
have poured out my soul before the LORD.”
Proverb:20:1,
“Wine is a mocker, strong drink is raging: and
whosoever is deceived thereby is not wise.”
Proverb
31:4, “It is not for kings, O Lemuel, it is not for kings to drink
wine; nor for princes strong drink.”
Isaiah 5:22,
“Woe
unto them that are mighty to drink wine, and men of strength to mingle
strong drink.”
Isaiah 24:9, “They shall
not drink wine with a song; strong drink shall be bitter to them that drink
it.”
Isaiah 28:7, “But they
also have erred through wine, and through strong drink are out of the way;
the priest and the prophet have erred through strong drink, they are
swallowed up of wine, they are out of the way through strong drink; they err
in vision, they stumble in judgment.”
“I've stood for
more sneers and scoffs and insults and had my life threatened from
one end of the land to the other by this God-forsaken gang of thugs
and cutthroats because I have come out uncompromisingly against
them.” —Billy Sunday
