The Law, the Bible and the Drink. Read to the end and then judge.

The right has engaged and been involved in the issue of alcohol consumption in the country. Called to opine about how a driver can drink, the amount of alcohol in the blood, we determined that 0.15 is the limit of tolerance that someone can have on your driving reflexes, also determined that only certain starting time is that it can be bound advertise certain beverages, advertising idem, but this is where it should be placed? It would not be a matter of education and culture that should be addressed now?
Consider the following:
 In Wikipedia we have this historical context: All civilizations know the alcohol production. In Egypt and Babylon were no reports of its use dating back 6000 years ago. Arabs who were included distillation, thereby increasing the effectiveness of the drinks in the Middle Ages. However, there is a wide range of attitudes of alcoholic beverages. If for some alcoholic drinks are part of everyday life (for good and for bad) and major celebrations (as well as being an important source of income and taxes), in others, especially the civilizations who follow the Islamic religion, alcoholic beverages are strictly prohibited. Brazilian Indians produced cauim, an alcoholic beverage made of chewing cassava or fruit juice, boiled in ceramic container. (2010)
                Tell us more online encyclopedia that "The first reports on the fermentation comes from the ancient Egyptians. Cure various ailments, inhaling vapor and liquid flavored fermented absorbed directly from the spout of a kettle, a closed environment. " The Greeks also know something like: "record the process of obtaining acqua ardens. The water that catches fire - burning water (kuhu al). "
The liquor then goes from Europe to the Middle East, by the force of the expansion of the Roman Empire. Arabs are discovering equipment for distillation, similar to what we know today. They do not use the word al kuhu but al raga, giving the name of the most popular spirits in the Arabian Peninsula: arak, a spirit mixed with anise liqueurs and sipped water. The production technology spreads throughout the old and new world. In Italy, the grape distillate is known as grappa. In Germanic lands, is distilled from cherry kirsch, the former Czechoslovakia, now split into Czech Republic and Slovak Republic, distillation of Sleva (kind of plum) generates slevovice (read eslevovitse). Scotland became popular whiskey, distilled from barley saccharified. In the Far East, Brandy serves to warm the cold of the population that does not produce wine. In Russia, vodka, rye. In China and Japan, sake, produced from the fermentation of rice is often confused with a brandy due to its high alcohol content, but it is actually a wine. Portugal also absorbs the technology of the Arabs and boils, from grape marc, the marc. Already in 1530 the first Portuguese grantees decide to start projects in the eastern lands of the New World, implementing the sugar mill with knowledge and technology acquired in the East Indies, from the south of Asia. "
We see that historically the drink is part of the human race since its existence on this earth, many people have it, is the wine, beer is either any other distilled, are present in its culture and people.
Let us look at some of these spirits:
Beer: it is a beverage produced from the fermentation of cereals, especially malted barley, considered perhaps the first drink of the world, the kings of Israel, at their parties, in praise to the Lord, barley used. To ancient civilizations beer has become vital because producing cereals, grains and traded, especially in Egypt and Mesopotamia. The Babylonian Code of Hammurabi had that tavern that diluted or overcharged for beer should be tortured.
The wine: it is timeless, Noah planted a vineyard and drank it the Romans, in china, and excavations have found traces of it around 6000 years BC, it is one of the most widespread beverages worldwide. Even Jesus used as the image of his blood. It is fantastic.
Cachaça: Known by some for its excess, as the "mardita", "water bird does not drink" and other appointments not honorable, is according to Wikipedia, belonging to the noble family of spirits, it is a distillate made to base of cane sugar, yeast and water. According to Decree No. 4851 of 2003, Article 92 says the following about the rum: Cachaça is a typical and exclusive denomination of cane brandy produced in Brazil, with an alcoholic strength of thirty-eight to forty-eight percent volume, at twenty degrees Celsius (° C), obtained by distilling fermented sugar-cane with peculiar sensory characteristics, and can be added up to six grams of sugars per liter, expressed as sucrose. Not to mention that actors, singers, politicians, lawyers and presidents, are diehard fans of the same. But the benefits on booze? Consider the benefits of the drink:
A study done by Dr. Tucker, the Framingham Offspring, says: The important message is "drinking in moderation is the best, because while two cans of beer a day or two glasses of wine are beneficial for bones, greater consumption is harmful. " In fact, she states that when spirits are considered "consuming more than two drinks" daily, "promotes osteoporosis."
Also says Charlie Bamforth, Director and Professor, Department of Food Science and Technology at the University of California that "several studies are showing that moderate consumption of alcohol, including beer, can have similar beneficial effects to the heart, including reduction in 30 35% likelihood of heart attacks in men when compared to abstainers. The wine is still high, but beer deserves the same acclaim. "Wine is widely known to lessen the risks of heart disease, kidney beer and rum. Due to alcohol, and in moderate doses, too.There harm? No drinking, no, but in all excesses; accidents, diseases such as cirrhosis, osteoporosis, are sufficient to show that excessive and detrimental to health.
I believe that the law should be, and legislators for their being responsible for making laws, addressed the issue, not control the amount of drink, but in education and penalizing those who sin excess node, the habit of drinking. Determine the freedom of someone drinking or not, and invade the territory of self-determination of the person, but to punish by putting the lives of others at risk, is correct.
The question is what limits should I impose myself, and not impose on another limits he can not observe. The limit to be personal responsibility. If you drink in excess, and place or take the life of another, whether intentionally murder and willful, respectively, as well as very strong pecuniary penalty, where the agent miss, too, but much of his property to pay for human life that took , for irresponsibility, will talk some sense in many people's minds, is the way out there.
It seems that I am being condescending? Nothing, I'm expanding much more, because those who drink and endangers the lives of others, should pay dearly for their conduct. While the legislation, current, Breathalyzers and others but only serve to ameliorate the situation, for those who will drink too much and kill, do not stop because of it, and just see the reality.
Propose stiffer penalties and stronger, as in Italy, where, when you see on TV, cars stopping for pedestrians crossing the track, not only be educated, pull into one, you will lose almost everything you gained in life in severance pay, out the actions that led to term. Is this for excessive drinking, and men are educated to respect the lives of others. Recalling that in the past, men did not have the car in hand, and drinking was a familiar act and festive, where everyone congraçavam and not full skirt flying with their cars, you need to educate and punish rude.

Subsidy:
What the Bible says on the subject:
Let the Bible in 1st place: The Bible says that Noah was a vintner in Genesis ch. 9:20, planted grapes and made wine to drink it. The Bible also says that Noah was righteous and devout, the Bible says that only he and his family were saved during the flood upon the earth, for God has found in him dignity among men.
Given all this, it would be reasonable to find the word that Noah was against drinking as many are flying today, people who use the Bible to say that drinking is wrong, because no one in the Bible drank. Why did Noah besides drinking wine for others to consume, would he today owns a factory of wines, and wines of the best quality.
The other references to wine in the Bible, who are there because God blessed the vine and its fruit, Consider:
1-Deuteronomy 20:6: speaking of the man who was going to war, but planted a vineyard and has not enjoyed it, it should go back and enjoy the same, ie, eat and drink your fruit.
2-Deuteronomy 22:9: God is not allowed to sow seeds of other species in the vineyard, What we wanted was to preserve the purity of the species.
3 - several times Jesus used the analogy of the vineyards, and never derogatory manner:
Mt 21:28, Mt 21:33, Mk 24:01, Lk 20:9.
4 - Not to mention the fact that he, Jesus turned water into wine. Why not juice? Or pure mineral water?
God blessed the fruit of the vine, and he said, in an act of total love for us that: Never drink of the fruit of the vine until that day when I drink it new in the kingdom of God. Mark 14:26. That is, I deprive myself of the best, as you can not share it to them with you, together again!
Conclusion:
Drink and food for thought to other people, not just a part of their culture, but their food. In Europe, Catholics, Evangelicals, Protestants, Pentecostals traditional drink wine, beer, soda and water. We received when preaching Protestant Americans receive, which in turn received it from the English Puritans, who were the ones to condemn the drink, because in England, the men mostly in that period were alcoholics, which shaped his theology, to discriminate against drink and prohibit it in the churches.
Breaking this paradigm would only bring more clarity to our culture and country.
