Bible Question: Is it wrong to drink wine? |
Bible Answer: Though obviously not intentional, this is rather a loaded question! If one should say yes or no, the next question could be, But what about beer or bourbon? I will reiterate what I've posted before: I find it hard to show that the Bible absolutely prohibts the use of alcohol in any forum and will not attempt to do so. But at the same time, having had some experience with alcoholics in trying to assist in their rehabilitation and having experienced the deep sorrow of losing a son at the hands of a drunk driver, it is beyond me to find any virtue in the consumption of alcohol. My wife and I have long since made our decision to abstain from alcohol. --Hank |
