Open Question: Alcohol is forbidden in bible why our shops are selling it?
Prohibition of alcohol in the Bible
The Bible prohibits the consumption of alcohol in the following verses:
“Wine is a mocker, strong drink is raging; and whosoever is deceived thereby is not wise.”
[Proverbs 20:1]
“And be not drunk with wine.”
[Ephesians 5:18]
3. Alcohol inhibits the inhibitory centre
The human beings possess an inhibitory centre in their brains. This inhibitory centre prevents the person from doing things that he considers wrong. For instance a person does not normally use abusive language while addressing his parents or elders. If he has to answer the call of nature, his inhibitory centre will prevent him from doing so in public. Therefore he uses the toilet.
When a person consumes alcohol, the inhibitory centre itself is inhibited. That is precisely the reason that an inebriated person is often found to be indulging in behaviour that is completely uncharacteristic of him. For instance the intoxicated person is found to use abusive and foul language and does not realize his mistake even if he is addressing his parents. Many even urinate in their clothes. Neither do they talk nor walk properly. They even misbehave.
4. Cases of adultery, rape, incest and AIDS are found more among alcoholics
According to National Crime Victimization Survey Bureau of Justice (U.S. Department of Justice) in the year 1996 alone everyday on an average 2,713 rapes took place. The statistics tell us that the majority of the rapists, were intoxicated while committing the crime. The same is true in cases of molestation.
According to statistics, 8% of Americans commit incest i.e. one in every twelve to thirteen persons in America is involved in incest. Almost all the cases of incest are due to intoxication of one or both the persons involved.
One of the major factors associated with the spread of AIDS, the most dreaded disease, is alcoholism.
5. Every alcoholic was initially a social drinker
Many may argue in favour of liquor by calling themselves ?social drinkers?. They claim that they only have one or two pegs and they have self-control and so never get intoxicated. Investigations reveal that every alcoholic started as a social drinker. Not a single alcoholic or drunkard initially starts drinking with the intention of becoming an alcoholic or a drunkard. No social drinker can say that I have been having alcohol for several years and that I have so much self-control that I have never been intoxicated even a single time.
6. If a person is intoxicated just once and commits something shameful, it will remain with him for a lifetime.
Suppose a ?social drinker? loses his self-control just once. In a state of intoxication he commits rape or incest. Even if the act is later regretted, a normal human being is likely to carry the guilt throughout his life. Both the perpetrator and the victim are irreparably and irreversibly damaged.
Diseases associated with alcoholism
There are several scientific reasons for the prohibition of consumption of intoxicants i.e. alcohol. The maximum number of deaths in the world related to any one particular cause is due to the consumption of alcohol. Millions of people die every year only because of intake of alcohol. I need not go into the details of all the ill-effects of alcohol since most of them are commonly known. Below is a simple list of few of the alcohol related illnesses:
Cirrhosis of Liver is the most well known alcohol associated disease.
Others are Cancer of Oesophagus, Cancer of Head and Neck, Cancer of Liver (Hepatoma), Cancer of Bowel, etc.
Oesophagitis, Gastritis, Pancreatitis and Hepatitis are linked with alcohol consumption.
Cardiomyopathy, Hypertension, Coronary Artherosclerosis, Angina and Heart Attacks are linked with heavy alcohol intakes.
Strokes, Apoplexy, Fits and different types of Paralysis are linked with alcohol intake.
Peripheral Neuropathy, Cortical Atrophy, Cerebellar Atrophy are well-known syndromes caused by alcohol consumption.
Wernicke ? Korsakoff syndrome with amnesia of recent events, confabulations and retainment of memory to old events with different types of paralysis are mainly due to thiamine deficiency due to excessive alcohol intake.
Beriberi and other deficiencies are not uncommon among alcoholics. Even Pellagra occurs in alcoholics.
Delerium Tremens is a serious complication that may occur during recurrent infection of alcoholics or post operatively. It also occurs during abstention as a sign of withdrawal effect. It is quite serious and may cause death even if treated in well equipped centres.
Numerous Endocrine Disorders have been associated with alcoholism ranging from Myxodema to Hyperthyroidism and Florid Cushing Syndrome.
Hematological ill effects are long and variable. Folic acid deficiency, however, is the most common manifestation of alcoholic abuse resulting in Macrocytic Anemia. Zeive?s syndrome is a triad of Hemolytic Anemia

Open Question: I believe depo medrol killed my cat. Has anyone else had a horrible experience with this drug?
Hello All,
My little boy died yesterday morning at only 2 1/2 years old. He was a domestic short hair cat and he suffered from asthma. The doctor had given him 2 depo medrol shots previously for asthma and they seemed to help for a period of 10 weeks each time. Lately I noticed Simba, my cat, had lost weight (about 10% of his body weight). He wasn’t running and playing as often, his coat wasn’t as soft and shiny, and overall he was lethargic. The last shot was given in October, and these symptoms occurred after that. When I took him to the vet yesterday after I thought he had another asthma attack on Saturday, he suggested I give him another shot and get xrays and blood work. He gave the shot and THEN gave the xray and his lungs came back clear which the vet thought was odd and also this time he had a heart murmur. (In October his heart was perfect). Within 11 hours of the vet giving him Depo Medrol my cat suffered an excruciating death. I rushed him to the ER and he died within minutes. He threw up all over me and it smelled so bad. The er vet told me his lungs filled up with fluids so he probably suffocated but most likely it was acute heart failure. The er vet told me this without evaluating him or running tests and only went by what I had told her about my earlier visit. When I asked my regular vet he said there was no way the shot caused this but I am convinced that it did. I have been researching the effects of this drugs and many of the symptoms and side effects my cat had. I am so devastated and just looking for answers. Have you or anyone you know gone through a similare experience? Thank you for your help
