One year later (evening services on potluck Sunday), he preached his first sermon. After several months of preaching for various congregations by appointment, Louis accepted his first fulltime work in 1974. After realizing the need to in- crease his Bible knowledge, brother Rushmore enrolled in Memphis School of Preaching in 1975. Additional college work elsewhere emphasized journalism and public speaking. Over the last 30+ years, Louis Rushmore has preached by appointment or served congregations in several states east of the Mississippi River, Texas, Arkansas and Ontario, Canada. He has written hundreds of articles, many of which have appeared in various Gospel magazines, including Gospel Advocate , Gospel Gazette , Christian Bible Teacher , The Restorer , Therefore Stand , Unity in Truth , First Century Christian , Firm Foundation , West Virginia Christian , Power and Contending for the Faith . Louis has written several Bible class books: Church Divine ; Spirit Summarized ; Bible Geography ; Biblical Companions: Bible Geography, Archaeology & Sacred History ; Parables of Our Lord, Vols. 1 & 2 ; Our Restoration Heritage, Vols. 1 & 2 ; Biblical Variety, Esther, Ruth, Digging Up the Past and Cost of Discipleship . Brother Rushmore was an instructor at West Virginia School of Preaching for ten years, beginning in 1995. There, Louis taught Bible Geography , Acts , 1 Corinthians , 2 Corinthians , New Testament Church , James and English Grammar . He is available for and enjoys Gospel meetings and lectureships. Additional experience includes work with radio, television and the Internet. Louis is also past Associate Editor of a state right-to-life magazine. He is Editor of Gospel Gazette Online at www.gospelgazette.com (since 1999) and Associate Editor of The Voice of Truth International . Louis and his wife, the former Bonnie Reed, have three grown children. Bonnie and Louis are committed to the service of Christ and busy themselves with publishing religious materials in print and on the Internet. For six years before relocating to Mississippi, Bonnie and Louis served the Lord’s church in Cameron, West Virginia where Louis was the minister and one of the elders. Presently, Bonnie and Louis reside in Winona, MS from which they labor for the Lord in world evangelism. 6 Publisher’s Statement Ours is a multifaceted work that has grown from foreign mission efforts in Pakistan, then in Sri Lanka and on to India, to encompass mass media tools. In order to reach more of the population of India, we took advantage of opportunities to have radio programs, which led to greater involvement in printing literature, and now we use a combination of radio/TV/literature and extensive follow-up and personal work. So we are great believers in the power of the printed page. When J.C. became ill with recurring cancer, and we were looking for people to come to Winona to help with the work, we were thrilled when Louis and Bonnie decided to make that move. It is not often that one already involved in printing is joined by a couple so perfectly suited to the needs – they write, they have already printed numerous books, they even brought their own printing press! So the Rushmores are a tremendous addition to the mission program itself. But we are especially thankful for Louis’ studiousness and writing ability. In Beverage Alcohol he has covered every aspect of the question, honestly and with reference to statistics and specialists in each field, so that the conclusions must have tremendous impact on the readers. In a time of degradation of the American culture and abandonment of the principles of Christianity, a study such as this is sorely needed. May it be the means of pulling many lives back from the brink of alcoholism. Betty (J.C.) Choate, World Evangelism Foreword Not all stories have a happy ending, for instance, that of faithful Noah of old. All of his good work in building the ark whereby he saved his family and himself is overshadowed by his drunkenness. Not only did he suffer because of it, but his family suffered, too. One would think that defenders of alcohol ( social drinking , really resulting in unsociable conduct) could learn a lesson from Noah. Biblical references to Noah clearly indicate that the problem of alcohol has been around for a long time. Granting Noah the benefit of any doubt, surely he neither planned getting drunk nor hurting his family. It is my honor and pleasure to highly recommend this fine book by brother Louis Rushmore. It answers those who defend drinking alcohol (in any form) for pleasure. Having read some of the answers that Louis gave to those who inquired of him about the use of alcohol, I was one of many who encouraged him to put these answers in a book for all to have. Louis is very clear and right to the point in his answers. I strongly recommend it to all elders and preachers as they combat this great problem in the world and sometimes even in the church. Beverage Alcohol is full of up-to-date material that puts the question of the use of alcohol where it should be, condemned by Almighty God. It is Bible centered with references to Scripture dealing with this important subject alcohol and mankind. In fact, if every Christian family were to have a copy of this book, it would be a valuable resource to guide it in the truth about alcohol and its effect on man. I encourage you to read Beverage Alcohol . Check the scriptures cited with an open mind. Doing this, I believe you will clearly see exactly what God meant when he said, “Woe unto them” who give or take strong drink in any amount. Some say if you want something done, ask a busy man to do it. Louis is very busy teaching and preaching the Gospel as well as writing and publishing many articles and class books. We will be forever indebted to Louis for his time and talent in this good work. Leonard “Buck” Groves, Minister & Elder Southern Hills church of Christ, Salineville, Ohio September 12, 1998 Preface A few years ago, I penned a short series of articles, the theme of which was: Legal, But Lost ! One installment addressed alcohol . Eventually, the article on alcohol made its way to the Internet along with several other articles I have written over the years. Occasionally, someone corresponds with me, usually by e- mail, regarding one of these Internet articles. To date, no article has generated more response than my article: Legal But Lost: Alcohol! Some correspondence is positive and complimentary. More, however, is negative and critical. One young student in a northern religious college took special exception to the

Key stakeholders were also invited to present their views to government. Some groups held face-to-face meetings with the Minister Responsible for SLGA while others submitted written comments. Any written comments received from these stakeholder groups are posted on the consultation website. This document provides a summary of the results of the consultation process – including both survey results and comments submitted via the consultation website.

  • Step 1 Alcohol Does Not Cook
    About Alcoholism - Alcoholism Information, Research, and Treatment What's Not Cooking? AA Grapevine August 1990 Don't blame Julia Child for leading you astray: We all were convinced that the alcohol in the sherry she so liberally added to dishes would cook away, with only the wine's flavor left behind. But now, it turns out, we can't have our brandy and eat it too, because alcohol, as recent research reveals, has tremendous staying power. At the request of the U.S. Department of Agriculture, food scientist Evelyn A. Augustin of Washington State University in Pullman, along with her husband, Jorg A. Augustin of the Food Research Center at the University of Idaho in Moscow, recently tested six recipes to determine the fate of the alcohol called for. Their results, reported at the latest annual meeting of the American Dietetic Association, were a big surprise to everyone. They found that the burgundy in pot roast Milano, for example, doesn't completely disappear even after two and a half hours of simmering on the stove; that a dish of scalloped oysters, baked at 375 degrees for 25 minutes, retains 45 percent of the alcohol in the dry sherry used; that Grand Marnier sauce, which is removed from the heat when the called-for liqueur is added, gets hot enough to lose only 15 percent of its alcohol. Especially surprising, though, was what happened--or didn't happen--to the brandy in the cherries jubilee. The recipe calls for dark sweet cherries to be mixed with corn-starch and heated in a chafing dish to thicken.

  • Alcohol-Free Foods and Drinks
    Alcohol-Free Foods and Drinks UHB is a no smoking Trust To see all of our current patient information leaflets please visit www.uhb.nhs.uk/patient-information-leaflets.htm This leaflet has been produced by the Substance Misuse Specialists in Liver Transplant (SMSLT), a group of Clinical Nurse Specialists representing liver transplant units across the UK and follows the national guidelines. You may be asked to sign an alcohol agreement committing you to a lifelong abstinence from alcohol if you are: • being assessed for a liver transplant • are on the liver transplant waiting list • have had a liver transplant for alcohol-related liver disease • if alcohol may have contributed to your liver disease in any way The majority of people are able to abstain from alcohol successfully, however a small group do return to some alcohol use and alcohol-free drinks can sometimes be a factor in this. Why is this possible? Alcohol-free drinks look, taste and smell very similar to alcohol so psychologically, people are still drinking; they have not moved away from alcohol or made the lifestyle changes necessary to maintain lifelong abstinence from alcohol (also known as ethanol). This is important to remember because some people may be psychologically dependent on alcohol even when they are not physically dependent. A donor liver can also be more susceptible to damage than your own liver, partly due to the immunosuppressant medication (drugs taken that stop your liver from rejecting) that patients need to take. The liver is donated on the understanding that the person receiving it will do everything in their power to look after it.
