10 Reasons Why I Drink

1. I love to Vomit. 2. It makes my children respect me. 3. My wife loves my whiskey breath and beer-bleary eyes. 4. Drunkards and saloon-keepers make the best citizens. 5. It helps me win the safe-driving award. 6. I want to encourage juvenile delinquency. 7. It helps me think more clearly. 8. It's my way of saving money. 9. I hope to live in a 'flophouse' on Skid Row. 10. It's my way of obeying God, Who says, "Wine is a mocker, strong drink is raging and whosoever is deceived thereby is not wise." - Proverbs 20:1

"I know when to stop!"

Sure. You're smart. You can take it. You know when you've had enough. That's what every drunken bum said at one time. But the time to stop was before he took the first drink. Now he's lost his money, his home, his family, his respect, his health. And his mind's going. Visit him at 5th and Wisconsin, or on the Skid Row of your city. See him begging for money. Look at his eyes, his shaking fingers. Talk to him. He was a doctor, a lawyer, a real estate broker, a college graduate, and athlete. Now he's an alcoholic. He didn't want to be a wallflower. He wanted to sow his wild oats. He got too big for Sunday School. He listened to an atheistic, evolutionist, college professor educated beyond his intellegence. "The Bible? Full of fairy tales. Read Tom Paine instead. Or Robert Ingersoll. Or Eleanor Roosevelt. Or Harry Emerson Fosdick. Or sex books. You're only an animal. Live like one."

Now look in the Mirror!

You are that person - 5, 10, 20 years from now - or sooner. Unless you wake up. God declares, "Whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap." Galations 6:7. You are on the toboggan. So is America. Americans drank 83 millions barrels of beer in 1 year. American spent in 1 year $8,760,000,000 for intoxicating liquors against $5,010,236,000 for public school education. Unless we stop, God will curse America!

How to quit!

Be converted to Jesus Christ, the Son of God. Accept Him as your Saviour. Ask Him to forgive you for your sins and make you a real Christian. Read your Bible daily and urge others to give their hearts to Christ. Write and tell us of your decision. We will send you a free booklet.
