How much to Americans drink?

According to data released earlier this year, 1 out of 6 Americans drink eight or more mixed drinks once a week. Nearly 1/3 of young adults between the ages of 18 and 24 binge drink more than once a week (binge drinking is defined as drinking seven drinks at one sitting). More than 1 out of 10 adults between the ages of 45 and 65 do the same.

Dr. Keith Ablow, writing on Foxnews.com, suggests such drinking is equivalent to snorting half-a-gram of cocaine more than once a week and injecting heroin similarly. That means we have a major number of adults, both young and mature, who are escaping from reality through alcohol.

Dr. Ablow believes these adults are “on a flight from reality.” He goes on to say, “we as a nation are drinking, drugging, gambling, smoking, Facebooking, YouTubing, Marijuanaing, Kardashianing, Adderalling, Bono-ing, Prozacking, Twittering, and Sexting ourselves into oblivion.” A local church had this sign on their marquee: “Are you spending more time on Facebook than you are in God’s book?” What an appropriate question. What about you?

Ablow is absolutely right. When our spirits are hurting, we are seeking help in the wrong places. It is as if we are malnourished and trying to feed ourselves with jelly-filled doughnuts. It tastes good but in the long run, it does absolutely no good.

People who suffer from such lack of self-control are out of control at least 1 day out of 7. One day out of each week, these people are not in control of their minds, their actions, their hopes and their fears.

With all the depressing things going on around us, it is more important now than ever to seek hope and consolation in Jesus Christ. Clearly, seeking answers in a bottle is just as paganistic and idolatrous as finding support in gods of gold, silver or wood. Pour out your fears to God, not into a bottle of alcohol. At the same time, if we don’t read the Bible, we are expecting God to listen to us (prayer) but we refuse to listen to Him (read the Bible). That’s a recipe for spiritual isolation.
