Patricia Paiwonski pointed her finger and suddenly looked very impressive, a priestess clothed in holy dignity and mystic symbols. "God wants us to be Happy.  He filled the world with things to make us Happy if only we see the light.  Would God let grape juice turn into wine if He didn't want us to drink and be joyful?  He could just as easily let is stay grape juice... or turn it straight into vinegar that nobody could get a happy giggle out of.  Ain't that true?  Of course He don't mean you should get roaring drunk and beat your wife and neglect your kids... but He gave us good things to use, not abuse... and not to ignore.  But if you feel like a drink or six, among friends who have seen the light, too, and it makes you want to jump up and dance and give thanks to the Lord on high for his goodness - why not?  God made alcohol and he made feet - and he made 'em so you could put 'em together and be happy!"
