Quote:
iii) Drinks
Alcohol is produced in our own body. Whenever one eats rice one feels sleepy; this is because alcohol is produced during the digestive process. It is true that one can get addicted to alcohol and that addiction can spoil ones social or economic life or both. If one is not addicted to alcohol and has good economic life where the individual can afford spending on it without curbing other essential expenditure for the family, I am of the opinion that there is no sin, I repeat the word sin, in drinking. In fact, it is now known that alcohol in the blood stream up to particular level reduces the risk of heart attack. Drinking in moderation helps, one should not get intoxicated or addicted or should not ruin family economics.

Sat Sri Akal,
Rationally, I tend to agree with you on most accounts... but What are you views with regard to drinking being one of the Kurehats in Sikh Rehat Marayada. Do you still think that drinking is not bad.
And, then What about Smoking ? Then according to your analysis, a little bit of smoking should not be bad for a Sikh... Please clarify my confusion.
