Abuse of alcohol kills roughly 100,000 Americans a year, the third-leading cause of preventable deaths after smoking . Binge drinking accounted for roughly half those 100,000 deaths.

c fret. now thats what my question is.
why on earth we belive that pork is more disgusting then liquor.
and even if it is.
jeez its forbidden so u r saying that coz its not as filthy as pork so we can use it as a reason for doing it.
dont know about it man!
[/QUOTE]
Well, I never said there was a reason for doing either of them. Both are disgusting, however, Pork is much more harmful to the body than drinking alcohol in moderation.
fret, please don't try to justify how drinking alcohol to ANY extent can be considered any less lenient than eating pork! both are haram, period!
:o

Can you provide any scientific basis or any study or reference to prove the statement that "pork is much more harmful .............".
Maybe after drinking alcohol, you're more prone to eating pork. Has anyone ever thought of that?
Alcohol
Pork
Woman
Tried all three concurrently in different combination and on its own.... What the hell one is bad as the other. What is the penelty for each of them. I believe wominizing carries the worse punishment and is one of the best out of all three :D . God is not going to forgive me for my past sins so why should I bother, let me enjoy my life.

Moona, yes, both are haraam indeed, however, at least alcohol has it's benefits as well. It's used in medicine. Pork on the other hand is nothing but harmful.

What is harmful about pork except getting meat born infections which can also occur with beef or goat meat???
Beef is no different than pork in term of getting infections.
Pork is the other white meat. I have never seen any studies that pork is any more harmful than beef. These are some of the dishes I love (and don't notice ill side effects): eggs and bacon, pork chops and apple sauce, sausage biscuit with saw mill gravy, honey-baked ham, salami and cheese, pepperoni pizza, spaghetti with italian sausage, ham and cheese puff pastry, country style spare ribs, grilled pork tenederloin and loaded chili cheese dog.

Moona.. nothing is bad if it is done in limit... Pork is bad for every1 - christians, jews or Muslims - but only muslims take serious note of this cuz of stupid moulvis.. so mery jaan - start boozing !!
Fret…I guess I can agree with your view that alcohol CAN have its benefits as can, say, marijuana for that matter, under certain medical circumstances for instance…but MY point is that pork AND alcohol are both haram regardless.
Seminole…are you muslim???
Mulz…?!@#$%^&*()

i wasn't trying to be provocative and i m glad that Fret Wizard didn't think i was.
my point was that there is no grading of Haram by the God so who are we to make these rankings.
A pig is a scavenger. It eats it’s own crap. That is reason enough for it to be an unhealthy animal. That saying “You are what you eat” has truth to it. You eat healthy, you’ll be healthy, you eat crap, you’ll be crap. A pig carries many diseases.
Dr. Glen Shepherd wrote the following on the dangers of eating pork in Washington Post (31 May 1952).
“One in six people in USA and Canada have germs in their muscles - trichinosis 8 from eating pork infected with trichina worms. Many people so infected have no symptoms. Most of those, who do have, recover slowly. Some die; some are reduced to permanent invalids. All were careless pork eaters”.
Here’s a link to the health concerns with regards to eating swine.
I'm sure a quick search will bring up as much evidence against other meats, and veggies as well, what with pesticides, fertilizers, ground water polluted from waste runoff, not to mention genetic manipulation of the seeds themselves!
Other than religious prohibition, I don't see any irrefutable evidence. Otherwise, pork-eaters should have died out years ago! Besides, bacon goes so well with eggs, toast and coffee, and, a thick, well-done pork chop with a nice white Zinfandel! :)
