*The Bible does not condemn the moderate

use of alcohol, but it clearly condemns

drunkenness. Jesus Himself drank wine and

even turned water into wine at a wedding in Cana.

[Matthew 11:19; John 2].

*But the Bible clearly warns against

becoming drunk or under the influence of wine

or strong drink, saying that this is a work

of the sinful nature, and that those who

"do such things shall not inherit the kingdom of God"

[Galatians 5:19-21].

*Also to be considered here is the fact

that God commands us to obey the

laws and commands of our government and rulers

[Romans 13:1-7; 1 Peter 2:13-15].

*It is against the laws of our land

for young people under a certain age

[usually 21] to drink, and it is also against our

laws to drink and drive. God would have

us obey these laws. Finally, the Bible says,

"And be not drunk with wine, wherein is excess;

but be filled with the Spirit"

[Ephesisans 5:18].

*We are not to become drunk or

intoxicated by wine or any other drink or

illegal drug; for then we may easily succumb

to the temptations placed before us by the devil,

the world, and our own sinful flesh.

[cf. Proverbs 23:29ff.].

*The only thing necessary for the triumph of EVIL, is for good men to do nuthing.
