Help...I don't drink so I think anyone who does is an alcoholic!

A few years ago, I went to teach for a summer in Europe. On the weekends, I would go to the town and have a few beers with a delicious dinner with my fellow teachers.

The Midwestern director of the camp was FURIOUS. In fact, she tried to give me AA pamphlets! To this day, I never drink alone and probably average a glass of wine or beer a week.

Hey America: teaching young people to appreciate alcohol, moderately enjoyed with good company and good meals, is the reason that Europeans don't have the rampant problems of college kids binge drinking (and driving). If your religion forbids it, that's fine, but please don't push your views on me.

This is all in response to a letter on Evil HR Lady. I pointed out that there are plenty of companies in America and plenty of countries, full stop, that allow a drink with lunch. But I guess that makes me a stupid alcoholic. Now that makes sense!

Should you have sex before marriage?

I just finished reading this letter by a woman who had had two sexual partners, but tried to religiously reset herself with her boyfriend until they got married....and now he's obviously gay or asexual.

Here's the Rosezilla Guide to Sex Before Marriage:

1. Either stay committed and don't have sex AT ALL before marriage...

2. Or make sure you have sex with your spouse before you get married.

'But Rosezilla!' I hear you cry, 'I was a street hooker and now I'm born-again!'

Tough. Do you want to end up like this woman? As cleansing as God's forgiveness is, He can never wipe out your frame of reference. Do it, ask for God's forgiveness, and save yourself from spending the rest of your life with Two-Pump Jim. Seriously, I'm 100% sure that this is what Jesus would do.
