hope the posts helped you shereepanjab, especially the last one, it proves that alcohol is wrong in sikhi as it makes you forget vaaheguroo and gives you the wrong satisfaction an happiness, and besides it only leads you to pain like all those things said in the previous posts and also from the looks of it hang-overs are really painful, so dont drink, make your guroo happy and satisfy your soul by drinking amrith from those milk bottles that are given in the gurdwara! mmmmmmmmmmmmm! vaaahegurrrooooo!

We shouldn't make faces when someone is asking a sincere question like this. Let's try and be professional. Some of us here used to drink, just remember that.

[japmans]

i object to the shabad.. the shabad actually is a metaphor for Maya. because it suggests that only FALSE wine is bad for you... that there's a true kind of wine... now if we take it literally, then wine is always alcoholic... so even a true wine would be alcoholic.

here, i strongly believe Wine is a metaphor for maya in general.

but i think the rest of the posts and responses show the truth about the degenerate attributes of consuming alcohol.

[pun9ab1]

of course it's bad for you, why would you want to poison yourself? and not to mention it destroys your liver.

[apne]

Me and my cousin used to get drunk at 10 a.m in the morning. After downing a quarter of a bottle, sometimes half of it, we would go to college and attend our classes. We would make fun of everthing that came in our sight, we broke desks, blackboard, beat up fellow students, threw stones in classes. Sometimes we would drink a full bottle, but then we would not go to college as drinking a bottle by two people gets you very tipsy!

We continued this routine for three years and were never caught, by any friend or proffessor! not even by our parents!!

Now we have left drinking and don't go near Alcohol anymore. It is bad for health makes you an animal. Guru Sahib has told us that alcohol is the most baddest thing to have.

I don't know if you drink alcohol or not. But if you drink it for fun, as i used to do, you can leave it anytime. Because the only reason you drink it is for fun, and there are many other better ways to have fun. ))))

But NEVER EVER drink alcohol because of some need, like to feel better when you are emotionally down or you want to cheer up your mood or to overcome anxiety. It makes you an alcoholic and can pretty much destroy you and those around you.
