• The consumption of alcohol is increasing among youth. Targeting young audiences, advertisers portray beer and wine as joyful, socially desirable, and harmless.

Can Christians who are involved in this commerce be indifferent to the physical and moral effects of the alcohol from which they are making their profits?

By the time Jeb Bush is elected, you'll be so wasted you won't even notice the war in Syria.
