Adams' Case

A Rare Medical Condition
The infant had a rare medical condition. His doctor assured his parents that the medical science had not yet found a name for his case but it was curable. ‘Only that you should not let him touch a drop of alcohol.’ The boy stayed out of everything that made one tipsy or drunk. His doctor assured him that his body made its own levels of alcohol that his liver could handle and a drop more would be fatal.
The boy murmured and said, “ Can I not drink like every other and get a kick out of an evening?” The boy was an extrovert and had a knack of livening up things even while cold sober. “ A lively boy like you do not need the bottle for a crutch. You can be soul and wit of a party if you choose to.” The old doctor was one of the family and he could be frank. The boy understood his case well.
But later in life he thought he was an adult and he had the right do anything he thought fit. He thought it was unfair not to try drinking for fun. ‘After all it is my body.’So he took a couple of drinks among company. Next morning he didn’t get up from his bed. He died from complications arising out of his rare medical condition.

Adams case was something similar. There was no need for him to eat the fruit of the tree of good and evil. Instead he disobeyed God or to put in other words to his soul's hurt.
