A cheap buzz
TMC Youth’s website, time4thinkers.com, featured this article as a blog.
It’s impossible to watch a football game without being accosted by it. It can feel virtually impossible to go to a party without giving in to its enticements.
It, of course, is alcohol and its promise of a great buzz. Getting drunk was basically the central point around which my college’s entire social schedule revolved. Weekends were reserved for parties, at which the keg was king. Drinking was seen as the easiest (and often, it seemed, only) way to a good time.
But as a Christian Scientist, I knew something important about that alcohol-centric mind-set that gave it little appeal: Its lure is a lie. Now, it appears, material science agrees.
