Forward Together into the Bar

Posted on September 20th, 2006 by Reformed Pope into the Uncategorized category

Recently, a study was done that claims the more you drink, the more you make. A few days ago the Washington Times posted an arcticle talking about this study. Here's a small part of what they had to say:

"People basically assume that alcohol is bad for you economically. It's been advocated for years, with people quoting from the Bible that drinking can lead to ruin," said Edward Stringham, an associate professor of economics at San Jose University and an adjunct scholar with the Los Angeles-based Reason Foundation, which published the study.
    "We looked at the economics of it and found just the opposite. Our results suggest that drinking leads to higher earnings by increasing social capital," Mr. Stringham said, adding that he has yet to hear complaints from Alcoholics Anonymous or other advocacy groups.

Money Quote:

  "Advocates of alcohol restrictions may be the ones engaging in anti-social behavior. Rather than attempting to discourage drinking in society, we should encourage it," the study concluded."

I can't help but wonder how much more we all would have "been blessed"  if we could have been drinking during the Forward Together campaign???

    As the honorary “Guest Blogger” I found myself struggling to find a good subject to blog about so I asked myself one question:

    What Would Justin Do?

    I was then lead to this article.

    Not really, I don’t give a rip about what either of them thinks of me. No motive to kiss but. :)

    Well, we certainly would have had more fun during “the Toronto blessing” phase had we added some alcohol to the mix.

    The Holy Spirit + “spirits” = GOOD TIMES!!

    :)
