okay, i have to make a solar cooker for my school project. i`ve searched all over the internet, but wasn`t able to find any good directions. the teacher told us to go to solarcooking.org; i wanted to make a bow solar cooker, but i really don`t understand the instructions, because it`s so confusing. can anyone please help me out? i really need to find a good site that has good understandable directions on making a box solar cooker. please help. (link)
|
From what I saw, Solarcooker.org has a decent and eay to make box version on its site: http://solarcooking.org/minimum.htm
Pretty much cardboard, foil and some other junk, and the instructions look worse than I think they actually are - it doesn't seem all that awe inspiring to make, IMO.

Hii , I would like to ask a question about this book (Vector Mechanics for Engineers: Statics), where can I find its Solution Manual ?
Thanks

Normally, I would check the bookstore I bought it from, particularly if it came from a college bookstore, and see if they carry it. Even if they dont, they probably could point you in the right direction. Most of the places I have bought books from carried some of these alternative texts, though I myself usually avoided them (as the core texts are expensive enough by themselves).
I also figured I'd tool around and search for this. Now I dont know what version you are using (as I have found that they often change a lot between editions and schools usually change texts every so often), but I found this for the 7th edition of "Vector Mechanics for Engineers: Statics and Dynamics". You might be better off looking up a specific ISBN also to be 100% sure. Towards the bottom of that page there is a link for Homework Solutions (http://me.cramster.com/vector-mechanics-for-engineers-statics-and-dynamics-7th-solutions-10-258.aspx) and assuming that is the same edition, that might be what you are looking for.
You might also just go to your Prof if this isn't taboo with him/her and ask them about it. I've had instructors who are fine with this anyways, as they are more concerned with exams...and an answer guide wont help you there lol. Of course, I am assuming you have this for a class, and aren't just reading it either for fun (erg) or for work (which is possible I suppose).

ok, let's just say i'm a trouble-maker... but only when i'm hanging out w/ friends. i mean, i never lie to my mom or anybody else but when i'm around my friends i do. and when i'm around my friends i swear and do all kinds of stuff. i don't want to stop hanging out w/ them because i've known them FOREVER but how can i start staying out of troulbe when i'm around them? please help.

First you need to decide whether these friends are going to dictate your actions, or if you are. Part of being responsible for yourself is making your own decisions rather than letting yourself be unduly influenced by others, especially if it results in behaviour that normally wouldn't occur.
Some cynics would say that you're simply using the group as an excuse to misbehave, as though its ok to screw around and lie to people becuase "I'm with my friends when I do it". I could be out with my friends, and I could decide to shoot someone in the head. Do you think the police, when I tell them "Its not my fault, I was with my friends", are going to say "Oh, ok...well we shouldn't expect you to be responsible for your own actions, here let me take those handcuffs off..."?
Its up to you, and you alone, to tell the truth at ANY time. Sure there may be other factors (such as these friends possibly wanting you to lie), but its your choice in the end. If you let a group of people dictate your life, not only will you be a 'sheep', but you'll run the risk of making some really bad choices. If you lie when you around these people, then it sounds like you are already making some.
If you are going to lie, at LEAST lie because you WANT to lie, dont shift blame to the group. And if you dont want to lie, if this group pressures you to do things you dont want to do...then you need new friends.

I am struggeling a little bit in one of my classes. I am so lost when we talk of the social contract.. can someone please explain to me what it is? I don't want alot of internet research done because I tried that, I just want your words. Thanks! :-D (link)
|
Ok, first this isn't an actual contract, its not something that anyone has specifically agreed to. So in another sense, think of it as an 'unspoken agreement' between a group of people and the individuals in a group.
Lets say you and 4 friends go out clubbing together, and all 4 of you are single and looking for peeps to hook up with. In this situation, it would be logical that it might be expected, or implied, that none of the 4 people compete for the same person, or to actively backstab each other...that would be detrimental to the group; that person(s) doing such an anti-social thing would quite possibly be ostracized and booted out of your group. None of you have to even discuss this, its an expectation, its implied in a way by the nature of the group. It would be illogical to form a group specifically to compete and make each other miserable, you could do this easily as individuals with no group at all.
These convenient 'contracts' between people are meant for everyones benefit. As such, people limit themselves, put restrictions on themselves, for the good of the group/society. I could go against some of our own social contracts (like stealing from others), but if I am caught I run the risk of being punished or expelled from society after a fashion. Also, this has been used to guarantee, and argue for, individual rights. So if people feel that religious persecution is bad to the people as a whole, it could be expected that people will themselves not persecute others...even going so far as to enact legislation to ensure religious freedoms.
Of course the idea of social contracts, or rather what they are in a specific instance and time, is fluid...what we might think of as a social contract might be different than people 100 years ago.
As this applies to Locke specifically, this also ties in with the legitimicy of a given government. A government needs the consent of the people to be seen as a legitimate government, and as such the people would expect their goverment to protect and ensure their rights, indirectly or directly supporting the social contract of the people (with laws, freedoms and rights for example). This ties the gov't into the idea of a social contract, by involving governments with the individual rights and freedoms of individuals. Locke argues that if a gov't DIDN'T take into acct what is best for society and the rights of the people, and ignores a social contract (such as a dictator imposing his regime on the people and ruling with a heavy hand, with little or no concern for the people), that the people then have the right to rebel against the government and overthrow it. (remember this was in a time when revolution was NOT seen as a good thing, and was seen as traitorous by many. One could argue that Great Britain failed in this sense with the United States, and that the young Americans felt they had the right to rebel as GB ignored the Americans rights and freedoms)
This is a quick and dirty answer though, and Locke wasn't even close to being the only one with a finger in the Social Contract pie. Hope this helps in some way.

I work 34-56 hours a week at a job, and 10-22 hours at an internship. I'm in 3 college classes and I have a baby. I have no time for friends or fun, and I don't seem to get any time for myself. This will all change in a few months, but I need to hang on until then.
This is what my day is like, 6-7 days of the week: 5:00 wake up, 7-3 Work, 3-6 Intern, 6-7:30 dinner and baby's bedtime, 7:30-9 school work, 9:30 bed.
You see, I only have an hour and a half with my baby, and spare in-between minutes with my husband. Does anyone have good ideas on how to make more time for myself, or at least make things more bearable until its all over? Thanks!! I really appreciate your suggestions! (link)
|
Wow. I tried some full-time evening/night semesters while working full-time construction and it KILLED me. And thats w/o a child or spouse, and no internship.
When you say 730-9 for school work, is that to study for something like online classes or is that actual class time? If its class time, I'd def say to look into something like online classes.
Of course you say this will all change in a few months, so I take it that this is less about changing your schedule and more about just making it to that point.
The only things I can say is perhaps get your husband to help make dinner or to do it all himself, unless he already is (you are spending 90 minutes on dinner so I assume you are making it, and not taking 90 minutes to eat).
Just keep reminding yourself that if you can klast a few more months thngs will improve.

im not sure if this is the right category but anyway..
my name is stephanie and people at school call me 'stiffy' and 'stifffanie' I dont like it and have told them to stop it or ill tell the deputy principal but the dont listen and now everyone one calls me that what should I do im to affraid to tell the deputy principal (link)
|
You really should just try to shrug it off and not let it bother you. Ignoring it wont do much, because people will be able to tell your are ignoring them and that is just as bad as getting angry over it.
People are always going to call you names, and there isn't much you can do about it. At least when you get older, it often changes from being said in a mean way to more of a petname/nickname.
If your FRIENDS pick out a name for you like this, its better to just roll your eyes and accept it, rather than create an issue with friends over it. As for people who are not your friends, you cant stop them, all you can do is try to not let it bother you in the hope that they get bored and decide to pester someone else.

i dont know what to do .my boyfriend just rercently cheated on me,then he brooke up with me.my friend briana was really helpfull saying ohh well its his l;oss not yours.but then today he asked her out ,and i asked her what she was goiun to say and she said "well im saying no cuz that would be messed up your my friend"but then he asked her at lunch and she said ya .should i be mad
p.s for now im not talkin to her (link)
|
I have to agree with MelLeDisko on this one. She tells you one thing to your face, and then does the exact opposite...I'd be ticked too!
IMO she is trying to keep you from getting angry by telling you what you want to hear, and at the same time trying to take advantage of the fact that you 2 broke up - all while staying friends with you.
Now, I don't think the fact that the 2 of them hooking up is exactly a bad thing, though its understandable you would feel bad about it....its the fact that she was two-faced about it. Both of them would be somewhat correct if they said it wasn't any of YOUR business what the two of them do, its simply the fact that she wasn't much of a friend when she gave you that line of BS about being your friend to your face.
I'm not sure that if I was in your shoes, I would feel any different. But I can say that if I had been your friend, I would have been honest and told you that I was thinking of dating your ex.

Whats like the official definition of "hooked up" I thought it meant having sex, some of my friends just say like making out. So when I watch shows like Laguna and such, I never know what they mean! (link)
|
It all depends on how its used, and this varies from place to place.
Where I am it can be sexual (lets hook up), something as innocent as a date, or even simply going out with friends on the weekend ("I'll hook up with you Sat and we'll go do something"). Even when I was in the Army, we would use it in a sense of meeting with another vehicle/squad/platoon at a designated area, 'hook up' and do what ever we are meeting to do (repairs, supply, w/e) and then take back off again.
Also, theres "Give me the hook up" or "Hook me up" which leads to "Bob is hooking me up with some, don't worry" or "I'll get some from Bob, we're hooking up tomorrow". All that is, is getting a deal or an item from someone.
As far as telling how it is meant, you have to look at the context in which it was used. Just like pretty much any phrase or term, it can be used differently and have different meanings all the time.

one of the guys at my school is saying im a lesbian b/c i havent had a boyfriend for awhile. but the only reason he thinks that is b/c i dont like going out w/ guys at my school. i only date guys from other schools. but i dont tell them that b/c its not any of their business. i dont know if he's joking or not b/c he's not really a serious person. i think he's told a few people but im afraid its going to spread b/c its not true. please help!! (link)
|
A lot of boys have this attitude...either you are spreading your legs for every guy in sight (their hope and dream), or its the exact opposite; you aren't "easy", and therefore its easy to be hateful and call you a lesbian because you aren't pandering to what they would like you to do.
Don't let it bother you, seriously. Once you are out of a school all that wont matter anyways. If he has told people, you can't do anything to stop it at this point really...just ignore it.

Are there any chat forums or websites for bisexuals?
I'm not sure what category it would fall under...but this is close I think. O.O (link)
|
Simply google something like "Bisexual" and "Forum". I just did and got 11 million+ hits. Of course not ALL of those will be exact matches...but out of all that there has to be something in there that would be what you are looking for.
If you live in at least a moderately large city you could easily put the name into the search as well.
I cannot really tell you anything more detailed, I mean there are so many sites like this out on the web today that all you need to do is spend some timing checking them out and finding some that are what you are looking for.
Hope this helps.

Right im 22, i have this boyfriend (X) and he is really nice and i do like him but he is three years younger than me, and an old friend of mine (Y), who is older than me, told me a couple of weeks ago that he really likes me and he has just been afraid to ask me out.
So Y asked me to go out on a date with him, i said yes but im still with X.
Now the huge problem is that X told me hes in love with me today and i cannot dump him because im going to hurt him so badly!
So i was going to go on the date with Y and see how it goes (Y knows about X btw) and if i really like Y, tell X im sorry but its not working.
What im asking really is, is this a good idea or should i just finish with X now and save any hurt?
(link)
|
Sorry, but this made me laugh. You know, you wouldn't be in this situation if you hadn't been willing to go on a date while you still had a boyfriend. You may not feel this is fair, but my first thought was that you were trying to be a player, and now you are in a bad situation.
Your boyfriend is really nice and you like him, but why is his being 3 years younger than you a BAD thing? If you like each other, isn't that enough?
So "Y knows about X". Think of the message you are giving Y, he must be thinking that things must not be all that good between you and X if you are willing to go on a date with him. And does X know about Y? I'm guessing not. What would he say if he knew? Yet, you said yes to the date with Y with apparantly little/no concern for X's feelings at that moment, and it strikes me odd that now you are worried about X's feelings since he just told you he loved you.
The big question is, do you love X? And I mean REALLY love him, not just being afraid of him thinking badly of you. If you do, then why are you going on a date with Y? If you don't love X, then the relationship sounds more like a convenience or that it shouldn't still be at the BF/GF level anymore. If that is the case, then you simply have to decide what you want...and you may have to break off the relationship with X. But please, whatever you do, don't be another person who juggles people while still in a relationship. I'd say either drop the BF or simply...don't...date...other...guys.

does anybody on this site cut themselves ? i need to talk to someone who i can relate to .. PLEASE!! i/m me at x3MOxL0V3x thank you so much (link)
|
I used to a long time ago, but it wasn't habitual. I was in a bad place, a bad state of mind, was depressed and I also had a lot of anger pent-up.
Dotdashandy has some good points, and its too bad that many of those that need help dont get it. Or, if they do get help they just get put on a regimen of drugs w/o any help directed at the real problems, the things that have the people so distressed in the first place. I know a lot of people though that do think scarification is 'cool', but its a tough time trying to pick through and know who really feels that way, and who is just saying that to cover the fact that they are depressed/disturbed, or want to appear like they are. I've met a lot of posers in this group of people too.
I'm older now, but I wont lie...everyone now and then I think about scarring. I never do anything, and nowadays it is just a passing fancy.
One thing though - why do you want to cut yourself? If you have pain inside that you cannot, or dont know how, to deal with, then getting help will be better in the long run then cutting. If you just like the end result - the scars - then thats a different thing, but be sure you are honest with yourself about the reasons. Most people I know are simply curious, and are actually turned-off by NORMAL scars (I have one friend who just recently saw pictures of Andy Warhol's post-surgery (from the shooting) scars and said it made him sick, though he is "IN" to scarring).
Besides, most of my scars (legitimite ones as well as self-inflicted) have shrunk over time, some to the point of being almost unnoticeable unless I point them out to people. The ones I did myself really were a waste, and they would have had to have been in excess of 8-12" originally in order for them to still be easily visible so many years later (and then, they would have been so large as to be ostentatious...though many will say that is the whole point of scarification altogether!).

This my new year, 7th grade, and I want to make new friends and stuff. But sometimes I feel like some of my friends are like settling.. and dont really wanna make more friends. I mean, they are good people, but they just arent like me and my personality. Sometimes some of them are like tired for no reason and it really annoys me, especially cuz i may sleep for like 4 hours and still be energetic in the morning. yah we have our differences, but i'd like to meet somebody who i can just really have a good time with, and know that they seriously are my best friend. i already have some.. but.. idk. i dont really care if they're popular or anything, just not like butt ugly or whatever, and have similar interests as me somewhat,and stuff. or maybe im just being too tough and 'not appreciating my friends' but sometimes i feel as though they're kinda.. um dull.
any tips on how to meet new people? i guess i also tend to settle, and i get a little shy around new people and dont really show them my real self till they get to know me and i trust them and feel comfortable around them and stuff. how can i be like more outgoing or something? thanks a bunchh.
also, what traits do you admire about a person? (link)
|
Well, just because you only need 4 hours of sleep (which isn't all that common btw) doesn't mean your friends are the same way. Some people need 6, 8 or 10 hours. I myself need at least 8. I dont even know why this would annoy you though, if your friends are tired then your friends are tired.
You might find them dull, and perhaps the sleep issue ties into that. Finding some other friends to 'flesh things out' might be a good thing, but I wouldn't drop your old friends just because they can't keep up with you (if, indeed, that is true).
If you are looking for for excitement, and friends that are a little more adventurous, I'd say just do some things solo and meet others who fit the bill. Just keep being open-minded and outgoing, and eventually I'm sure you'll meet, and make, some new friends. Plus I;ve always found that I've met new people while outgrowing old friends, its normal over time.

Well i dated a girl about a few years back. we went out for about a year; things happens blah blah blah. well anyways i still like her and i feel the same way. i've always wanted her to be my first but i dont know if that'd...happen.
This other girl, whose really into me. Seems to want the same relationship we have..and inside i feel that i cant replace what we had. But she wants to have sex with me, and i sware i am soo tempted but both the abstinence thing and the girl is stopping me. i dont want to regret anything, all i know for sure is that i want the first girl to be the girl i marry =\
really dramatic but if you can help thanks a million (link)
|
well, I have to say you dont get this kind of sentiment from the guys as often as the girls.
MasterFunk's answer, as crude as it is, is a perfect example of the response you might get from a lot of guys. So, don't go dropping this question on guys you know unless you are sure they wont heckle you for years to come.
Whats the deal with the first chick, the one you dated? You might have feelings for her still, but be honest with yourself; if she either isn't willing to be with you again or even sleep with you at all, its a lost cause to hold your virginity for her when nothing is going to happen.
Waiting for the person you are going to marry is a long, lonely road. As crazy as relationships are , you might not even be talking to either of these chicks in a matter of time, and this whole thing becomes moot.
Do one of two things: either be TRULY abstinent and don't sleep with anyone until you are married (then at least you are sure), or drop this whole thing and give the 2nd girl a chance, and just go with it.
Lastly, sex is not love. Love is not sex.
The saying "One in the hand is worth two in the bush" (no pun intended you sickos rofl) is also apt here - you have a girl who is into you, and you dont want to sleep with her in order to save yourself for someone you haven't, or may never, meet. Like I said, if you are going to be absinent do it the whole way, or drop it and be with this 2nd girl. From her point of view, it may not be fair to her to keep some things closed off from her because of this romantic ideal you have.

I asked my mom the other night if I could dye my hair black she had replied no and told me she didn't have to give me a reason as to why she said no.
Finally, she still said no but said she would change her mind if I could come up with 20 valid and good reasons as to why she should allow me.
I believe I have 8-10 at this moment.
My main reason is to express individuality because I'm outgoing and charismatic but she just doesn't seem to believe it.
What do I do?
I've been wanting to dye my hair black for at-least 3 years.
I've tried negotiating and I'll be 15 October 5th and it doesn't even seem like a possible present unless I have 20 reasons. (link)
|
Most of the time when you get something like this, the person in control purposely puts it out of reach. Your mother just doesn't want you to dye your hair, and my guess is that she doesn't expect you to actually come up with 20 reasons. If she did, she would have asked for 50. Thats a cynical thought, perhaps, but I am being honest.
My guess: that is why she didn't give you her reason; she didn't want to tell you outright "I dont like it, and that is how its going to be. Its my way or the highway". She is a parent, of course she is going to doubt your reasons, her point of view is drastically different. What you might think is cool, might very well be, in her mind, something thats stupid and impulsive. I would advise you to not get your hopes up, you could very well give her 20 reasons and still be told 'NO'. All parents are different so its hard to say, you would be the best judge of that.
To play devils advocate (and possibly sympathize with your mother): Whats wrong with your natural hair color? Your mother might simply be wanting you to be happy with yourself as you are, w/o having to change yourself.
Saying this might get me a negative response, but hey, I'm being honest here.
GL in any event :)

i don't know how i'm going to study for all of my quarter exams. they start thursday and i'm really worried. i don't know how to study for them. ironically, i get to take all my super hard tests on thursday; algebra 2 honors, AP world history, and chemistry honors. how am i supposed to study for this? how can i get prepared without stressing out so much? (link)
|
I've never slept alot through exams/finals. I was pretty bad about drinking lots of coffee for a couple days, not sleeping more thana few hours, and cramming during every spare moment I had. Then after I had taken my last exam/final, I would drive home and sleep (often) for 24 hours. Of course, I had to do this because I usually procrastinated until the last moment...
I would suggest planning out a set amount of time to study (total time) and dividing up that time between your classes, based on what you need to study more. Do that, and you should be at least somewhat prepared. Also, I've always enjoyed getting some people to study with; not because I really needed the help per se, but because my mind wanders a lot and having others to study with helps me focus.
I've always found that the study guides and the like, that your instructors give out, are usually pretty accurate. I've both blown them off, as well as memorized them, and when I've actually READ them I've done a lot better. I feel that most instructors give you the information you need 2 or 3 times over, you just have to study.

i slept on my shoulder wrong the other night and had mom massage it in the morning. but it made it worse. now, it feels like a huge bruise spread across my upper back. it hurts quite a bit. but im wondering if i should go to a massage therapist or just take asprin until it goes away. (link)
|
If this is a recurring pain over time (as in, it occurs every so often), there is a good chance that it isn't the muscle itself. Its possible though that its just a sore muscle, especially if you sleep on that particular side a lot.
If the pain spreads, and begins to involve your neck or shoulder, or if you get shooting pains anywhere from your neck down through one arm, you will need to go see a doctor. I have similar problems, but they are chronic, and I go through this every 2-6 months at least.
If this is just a one-time soreness, then take some Ibuprofin (its for swelling and inflamation, which will affect the pain) and try to sleep flat on your back, avoid sleeping on the shoulder. If you want to go to a massage therapist thats up to you, they might be able to do something for it if the pain persists.

ok well you guys know that song Heaven by DJ Sammy? well does he actully sing that song lol or who does? because its his CD and his name is on it and im kinda confused.. hehe thankss! (link)
|
No, he does not sing those vocals. It is done by a female vocalist named DO (Dominique van Hulst). She also had a solo release single of this withought DJ Sammy.
From http://www.jimvallance.com/01-music-folder/songs-folder-may-27/pg-song-do.html
"Prior to her success as a recording artist Do was singing a lot of radio commercials. One such commercial was produced by a man named Yanou . He conveniently arrived in Do’s life around the time that she was quite rightly feeling that she’d sung a little bit of everything, from pub rock to light opera, and now needed to knuckle down and find her own distinctive voice. Yanou suggested a cover of Bryan Adams’ early 80’s ballad Heaven. His love of trance inclined him to a heavily modified dance version of the song, but Do wisely insisted that she also record a version that was true to the original. By the time the double-A side was done, everyone involved was convinced they’d just created a breakout single. Which was, of course, exactly what happened. Number 1 in the UK, Number 3 in Australia, Number 8 on the US charts (and the only artists in history to have two versions of the same song simultaneously chart), Top 10 everywhere else!
Do should have been in that heaven she was singing about, except for the unfortunate fact that her name was nowhere to be seen on the label which read, instead, "DJ Sammy and Yanou". DJ Sammy had joined the team for this one project. His label licensed the record. Presto! No Do. Still, she hit the road to promote Heaven, spending a year in America alone. "Everywhere I went, people asked me if I was DJ Sammy," she remembers. "It takes away your positive energy." Still, she kept on Do-ing, performing in clubs with two back-up dancers, doing all the promotion, getting none of the credit, learning to be stoical. "In the end, I never wanted to be a trance artist, and I still got credit for being a good singer, having a hit and being able to go on as a pop artist."
Hope that helps.

i really need help. like, from a pyschatrist. and i really don't know how to ask my parents.
but first i wanted to ask everyone on here a few questions.
IF YOU HAVE BEEN TO A SHRINK;
-- is it weird talking to them?
-- does it really help?
-- how did you ask your parents?
-- how does it work? like the visits?
thank you everyone that takes the time to answer. (link)
|
1. If you do find them wierd, it wont be because they are psychiatrists but rather just like anyone else, if they are strange then they are strange. Most are practiced enough, professional enough, to put patients at ease (mine have been), but I wont say that there aren't exceptions.
2. It depends on whats wrong. You should know however that you wont walk in and be 'cured' 30 minutes later. It usually takes several sessions for a person to simply get a handle on whats going on; solutions will take longer still. For there to be a chance of any success, you need to be committed to the process long-term and see it through.
3. My parents took me as though I was 'THE' problem, and it was the therapist herself that said "Well, all of you are guilty of this, or that, and you all need to come in".
4. It depends, but they will ask you questions to get an idea of the situation. Eventually they will steer the sessions towards where they think the conflict, or problem(s), are. You may have to take some tests (both medical and mental so to speak) just to rule out any underlying physical problems that might be causing psychological problems.

Where in the Bible does it state that people shouldnt drink alcohol? Bible verses would be good. (link)
|
Well, you have to be careful with this; there are a lot of references. Many references though are not as simple as "God said you shouldn't drink", in fact, many are simply references along the lines of "Drunkenness causes poverty" (Proverbs 23:21) and "Alcohol makes the drinker unstable" (Proverbs 23:34).
Note that both of the last two quotes I am quoting from my source quoted later; these are probably not the exact wordings (I'm not going to get the Bible out and check, I'm sure if you are interested you will do that irregardless).
Of what I saw (the upcoming site lists 75 sources), few say that alcohol is specifically prohibited. Personally I wouldn't use those in an argument/debate myself, but they DO often imply, often indirectly, that 'people shouldn't drink'. The ones I thought were the most applicable:
Leviticus 10:9-11 - God commanded priests not to drink so that they could tell the difference between the holy and the unholy.
Psalm 75:8 - The Lord’s anger is pictured as mixed wine poured out and drunk by the wicked.
Proverbs 23:31 - God instructs not to look at intoxicating drinks.
Isaiah 24:9 - Drinkers cannot escape the consequences when God judges.
Isaiah 28:1 - God pronounces woe on the drunkards of Ephraim.
Ezekiel 44:21 - Again God instructed the priests not to drink wine.
Hosea 7:5 - God reproves princes for drinking.
Nahum 1:10 - The drunkards of Nineveh will be destroyed by God.
Luke 12:45 - Christ warned against drunkenness.
1 Corinthians 6:10 - Drunkards will not inherit the kingdom of God
Galatians 5:21 - Acts of the sinful nature, such as drunkenness, will prohibit a person from inheriting the kingdom of God.
IMO only those 11 are irrefuteable in a sense, in that those are more difficult to undermine and disbelieve. http://www.scionofzion.com/drinking.htm has many more, but they run the gamut from social views to common sense observances. For example: "Habakkuk 2:16 - Drinking leads to shame." Many people would argue "That doesn't mean you shouldn't drink as though its a rule, its common sense..."
