“It is immoral to get drunk because the headache comes
after the drinking, but if the headache came first and the
drunkenness afterwards, it would be moral to get drunk.”
– Samuel Butler
(1835-1902)

Brad Whittington,
father of Vice Chancellor Daniel Whittington,
has written a scholarly book on the subject of alcohol and Christianity.
A very interesting read. Extremely well documented. Seriously.
The paperback is $6.74 and the Kindle version is 99 cents.
Worth a look if the subject has ever been of interest to you.
