[stylist] a poem

[James H. "Jim" Canaday M.A. N6YR]

okay Lori,
now you have to explain: what is the traditional  alcoholic beverage 
transporting the observant jews into the land of, uh, well, being plastered?
just curious.
didn't know that about Purim.

protestants have an entire range of treatment of intoxicating 
beverages.  I am a tea-totaller.  yes, beer and wine taste good, but 
my faith is more important and I read a passage in the New Testament 
to say one shouldn't have alcohol effecting one's mind.  Other 
protestants do drink freely.  some have sacramental wine in the 
worship service too.  however, there you don't drink enough to get "drunk."
