Original quote by Iggy: Take a good[look] at people - see any with the big abdomen? The large, extended gut that is above the belt line? Go up to them and say- Hey what is your favorite Beer? How many a day do you drink? Drink anything more than just beer?

Where do I say FAT? Where do I say obese? I did not, you misinterpreted that. I should have been more clear by saying that they have normal weight/size arms, lower torso, legs. That just their gut area below their chest and above their waist is extended,large, out of proportion to the rest of their body. Of the obese people that I know and have seen - NONE have guts (the area just below the chest and above the waist) that are rock hard!
I am anti-alcohol, it is a result of being the niece of two raving alcoholics, and married to an alcoholic for 25 years. It is also the result of my drinking myself senseless for 15 of those years too. I really don't think I was an alcoholic because I never craved it. I drank so that I would be drunk and not know what my husband was saying or doing. I drank because he put it in front of me and told me to drink. That if I didn't drink with him, then I wasn't loyal to him, that I didn't love him. When I quit, I quit cold turkey. The only thing I craved was sugar. I soon realized that I had to eat raw veggies instead of the sugars or I would end up obese in short time.

Yes he was. That much is very obvious. Even his family saw that eventually, so did he.

You are making more out of what I said than what I said. His family were the ones who were denying that he was an alcoholic.

This I agree with totally! Alcohol causes great damage. Smoking causes great damage. Taking drugs that have not been prescribed to you by a licensed Doctor causes great damage.They ALL are BAD. Yes, you've got that one right.
Talk about knee-jerk reaction- what I have said has really hit a very raw nerve with you.
Please, go ahead and enjoy your alcoholic drinks. It is your agency, it is your body, it is your life. It is you who will have to answer to/suffer the consequences of those choices that you make with your agency. Just as I will answer to/suffer the consequences of the choices I make with my agency.
I choose to obey Father. When I was drinking and smoking cigarettes I chose to disobey Father and I also took responsibility for my wrong actions and I suffered the consequences of those wrong choices/actions. Now that I choose to obey Father, I am blessed by the consequences of those correct choices/actions.
