[QUOTE="findingmyway, post: 140108, member: 12855"] Ambarsaria ji, On this point I am afraid we differ. A lot of the research around alcohol (on both sides) is severely flawed when it comes to health benefits so research actually doesn't show ANY health benefits of alcohol at all and doctors would NEVER encourage a teetotaller to drink for health. The media loves the positive headlines which is why it has become such a popular myth. Here are some articles to explain further [URL]http://alcoholism.about.com/cs/dementia/a/blwis030723.htm[/URL] [URL]http://www.jointogether.org/news/research/summaries/2006/studies-on-alcohol-heart.html[/URL] [URL]http://www.webmd.com/heart-disease/news/20060330/alcohol-no-heart-benefit-after-all[/URL] Comparing food to alcohol is also not a like for like comparison. Food is necessary for survival, alcohol is not. The function of alcohol is for pleasure and social life only, the mind altering effect it has is well established and a huge amount greater than any food. The number of foods that can cause harm (in absence of disease) in small amounts is very tiny (such as cassava incorrectly cooked) but all types of alcohol can cause harm in small amounts. There are times when you are affected out of proportion, eg when tires or stressed, and this is not always predictable so therefore I do not believe moderation is possible. Alcohol is addictive, food is not. Many countries won't allow driving after ANY alcohol which proves the science shows that even 'moderate' drinking is mind altering. The reason why alcohol is such a destructive force is because it is legal, socially acceptable and more than that in many societies encouraged. By endorsing drinking, we are adding to those statistics. Spnadmin ji has already listed the social evils associated with drinking. It really is a slippery slope for many! All this may be classed as my opinion so I think it's also important to look at what gurbani says as that should be the guiding force for each and every Sikh. Gurbani is very clear on not allowing intoxicants, including alcohol. This video explains in more detail. [url="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WnF-AUj8z_A"]YouTube - Sikhism On Alcohol[/url] Page 554 ਸਲੋਕ ਮਃ ੩ ॥ ਮਾਣਸੁ ਭਰਿਆ ਆਣਿਆ ਮਾਣਸੁ ਭਰਿਆ ਆਇ ॥ maanas bhariaa aaniaa maanas bhariaa aae || One person brings a full bottle, and another fills his cup. ਜਿਤੁ ਪੀਤੈ ਮਤਿ ਦੂਰਿ ਹੋਇ ਬਰਲੁ ਪਵੈ ਵਿਚਿ ਆਇ ॥ jith peethai math dhoor hoe baral pavai vich aae || Drinking the wine, his intelligence departs, and madness enters his mind; ਆਪਣਾ ਪਰਾਇਆ ਨ ਪਛਾਣਈ ਖਸਮਹੁ ਧਕੇ ਖਾਇ ॥ aapanaa paraaeiaa n pashhaanee khasamahu dhhakae khaae || he cannot distinguish between his own and others, and he is struck down by his Lord and Master. ਜਿਤੁ ਪੀਤੈ ਖਸਮੁ ਵਿਸਰੈ ਦਰਗਹ ਮਿਲੈ ਸਜਾਇ ॥ jith peethai khasam visarai dharageh milai sajaae || Drinking it, he forgets his Lord and Master, and he is punished in the Court of the Lord. ਝੂਠਾ ਮਦੁ ਮੂਲਿ ਨ ਪੀਚਈ ਜੇ ਕਾ ਪਾਰਿ ਵਸਾਇ ॥ jhoothaa madh mool n peechee jae kaa paar vasaae || Do not drink the false wine at all, if it is in your power. ਨਾਨਕ ਨਦਰੀ ਸਚੁ ਮਦੁ ਪਾਈਐ ਸਤਿਗੁਰੁ ਮਿਲੈ ਜਿਸੁ ਆਇ ॥ naanak nadharee sach madh paaeeai sathigur milai jis aae || O Nanak, the True Guru comes and meets the mortal; by His Grace, one obtains the True Wine. ਸਦਾ ਸਾਹਿਬ ਕੈ ਰੰਗਿ ਰਹੈ ਮਹਲੀ ਪਾਵੈ ਥਾਉ ॥੧॥ sadhaa saahib kai rang rehai mehalee paavai thhaao ||1|| He shall dwell forever in the Love of the Lord Master, and obtain a seat in the Mansion of His Presence. ||1|| Kind regards, Jasleen [/QUOTE]
