Dad picked up a beer can and held it close to my nose. He said, "You see how that smells? That's exactly how it tastes." Because of that instance, I've never desired to drink. The other reason I don't drink is because in Proverbs the Bible states not to look on wine when it moves itself aright in the cup.Shoshannahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12728834058815344731noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6429762648669124588.post-8472371926540830842007-11-09T16:05:00.000-05:002007-11-09T16:05:00.000-05:00Revka, When I used to work at McDonald's there was...Revka, When I used to work at McDonald's there was a bar/club across the street.
