What do you think? :)

Well, it's pretty standard christian dogma, so the answer is probably "yes"...

If "God" is indeed all-powerful and all-knowing, then clearly "God" created "Satan" knowing what the result of said action would be...
In other words, people despise "Satan" for doing exactly what "God" intended him to do. Ergo, sympathy for "Satan" is entirely reasonable, as he has been inappropriately maligned for centuries.

Consider Long Island Ice Teas the ice tea for grown ups. In other words, no, it is not like regular ice tea like Snapple or Nestea.


Oh, okay. It's basically the unsweetened version of Nestea. Well, at least, that might be healthy.

I love it~ White rum is hit or miss depending on the brand. But spiced rum is great, straight or as a mixed especially a coke.

Never been a fan of rum, myself... More of a vodka or whiskey guy...

My grandfather loved that combination. I remember that he would even add these very tiny onions to it too. Literally, a Gibson, sans the vodka. I usually (and you'll probably gag) substitute the tonic with ginger ale.

Never had rum, and never will I have it, for the sake of my health. :)

Having an occasional drink is actually good for you.
The key is moderation.

Well, as long as I can manage my own stress without drinking, I'm fine just not drinking.
The whole point of drinking alcohol is to alleviate stress, that is why.

We're in the outlandish situation of having too much alcohol in the house, Dami can't get through it by himself. Come have several bottles of Bailey's.

People's reasons for having a drink aren't always because of stress. The point of drinking varies according to the person doing the drinking. It is not only to alleviate stress. It can be celebratory, social, health reasons (wine consumption in moderation has been linked to improvements in blood tension and cardiac conditions).

I have never drank to relieve stress.
I drink because 1: I like the taste, and 2: I enjoy the feeling of being slightly intoxicated.

Well, the thing is, I can celebrate, socialize, and manage my own health without having to drink. I'm sure exercise can also help your blood circulation and overall stamina.

Whoop dee doo, good for you. Other people enjoy drinking booze, for myriad. That doesn't mean that they do it solely to relieve stress or that they're in the wrong for imbibing. And if it's a religious thing, even Jesus drank wine .

Actually, that effect has been noted regardless of the type of alcohol consumed, though the effect is most pronounced if the alcohol is wine (especially red wine)...

Well, the only one I know of is wine, but I can't dismiss that other kinds of alcohol can be beneficial. It's just that I've only experienced it with wine.
