Why are alcohol spirits called spirits?

One theory is that the word alcohol is derived from al-ghawl. This is the most straightforward way to link alcohol and spirits, as the word means spirit. It's referenced in The Qur'an--verse 37:47 mentions al-ghawl to refer to a demon or spirit that produces intoxication.

And let's face it. Alcohol has ruined more lives than anything else.

It isn't called the devil's brew for nothing.

There's a line from the original True Grit that I got to look for ...

ahh - there it is

"I would not put a thief in my mouth to steal my brains."

For too many people that would be petty theft

There is a time to abstain and here is a time to celebrate.
Do both knowing that the Spirit of the Lord is in you.

Psalm 110:4 " The LORD hath sworn, and will not repent, Thou art a priest for ever after the order of Melchizedek."

1st Corinthians 11:23 "
For I have received of the Lord that which also I delivered unto you, That the Lord Jesus the same night in which he was betrayed took bread:

24 And when he had given thanks, he brake it, and said, Take, eat: this is my body, which is broken for you: this do in remembrance of me.

25 After the same manner also he took the cup ([OF WINE]), when he had supped, saying, This cup is the new testament in my blood: this do ye, as oft as ye drink it, in remembrance of me.
