Martin B's comment on 2013-06-24 13:16:51:

Men are deluded into imagining themselves to be heroes by drinking, while in reality they are gaining in weakness, wasting time and money that could be spent in becoming the men God designed them to be. Then and today, excessive drinking gradually brings a superficial egoism in place of the real heroism of going through the challenges of life to reap its real rewards.
