Philosophy of alcohol 2

DOUBLE SAPCE , FOUR AND HALF PAGES.

 Choose one or two of the following aspects of Temperance (from Lecture 2 slides) and draw/expand upon the ideas (presented in the readings and lectures) to explain how these ideals could change/impact the way people discuss or engage in alcohol consumption. How would/could this be practically lived on a college campus? :

• Temper (metal): Makes metal stronger but endures testing = Christians must become tempered in virtue to grow in relationship with God (recall the image of pruning the vine)
• Temperature: Seeks thermal equilibrium and balance = Christians must gauge the climate of a room when discerning alcohol consumption.
• Temporal (time): Seeks a proper time or season for something = Christians must balance celebration with ordinary life and leisure with work.
• Temper (music): Allows harmonies to match up better = Christians must seek an inner harmony between the various aspects of one¿s life.
