“Lest they drink and forget the law, and pervert the justice of all the afflicted.”
As one consumes an alcoholic beverage, first the judgment is to go flying out the window, next is the basic motor skills, and then stuff such as vision impairment. When the judgment of an authority figure goes whack, the standard of living for those who are governed under the leader who chooses to be given to alcohol goes straight to the gutter. Those in a position of leadership should not be given to strong drink. It is stumbling to most and is just downright irresponsible. If a leader is to drink and be drunk they are bound to go that much quicker to their demise. They find themselves in situations that they would have never gotten in if they would have been of a sober mind.
In applying this I will pray for discernment and wisdom in all actions I commit that I might not give way to compromise in any area of my life.
