I was always amazed at college, and when I taught at college, to see the number of young people that partied and drank alcohol, and to see the disastrous effects of it.

Luke 15:11-16
11
And he said, A certain man had two sons:
12
And the younger of them said to his father, Father, give me the portion of goods that falleth to me. And he divided unto them his living.
13

14

15
And he went and joined himself to a citizen of that country; and he sent him into his fields to feed swine.
16
And he would fain have filled his belly with the husks that the swine did eat: and no man gave unto him. (Luke 15:11‑16)
