ALCOHOL ABUSE: 3000-YEAR OLD SOLUTION!

The alcohol abuse symposiums for the regions has kicked off. Of course, money would be spent and a lot of views would be aired. But the solutions are often right there before us. Alcohol itself is not a new subsstance. It effects have been known by people for thousands of years. We can get the solutions from past sages, without trying to re-invent the wheel. In the Old Testament, Proverbs Chapter 31, a mother cautions a king with these words: "It is not for kings, O Lemuel, it is not for kings to drink wine; "Nor for princes strong drinks: "Lest they drink, and forget the law, "And pervert the judgement of any of the afflicted." Are our leaders going to use what is already known for thousands of years or are they going to spend more money in seeking advice and counsel from modern knowledgable men? We will wait and see.
