Is intoxication a sin?

Hi, I was wondering what your opinions are on underage drinking? I get that drunkenness is a sin but what about enough to just get a bit tipsy? and is it a sin to get high? I mean not in a dangerous way, just every now and then?
Thanks

I remember that God asks us to obey the laws of our government (unless otherwise stated). So under age drinking could be considered breaking the law. Not sure if it is a sin, but I have I had to guess I have to say yes.

As for intoxication...Well, I know drinking in moderation isn't bad. But intoxication would ber very unwise. Since our body is the resting point of the Holy Spirit, we should take care of it and not abuse it with any substance that could so so.

That's my personal opinion anyway.

I think the more drunk you get, the worse it is, because there is always a limit to indulging yourself. I guess that is God's message for people who get hangovers.

Thanks for the answers
And so is even just drinking a small amount of alcohol, not enough to be intoxicated considered a sin of it's under the legal age? I mean I know there is no definit answer but in your opinion is that a sin?
And I get that it's wrong to harm the body but is getting high like only occasionally enough to be considered harming the body?
Thanks again and sorry if these are kinda stupid questions

Breaking a law that does not disagree with the Word of God is sin. See the following scriptures regarding submitting to human authority: Romans 13:1-7, Hebrews 13:17, Titus 3:1, Romans 3:1, Ephesians 5:21, Daniel 3:1-30 (example of when a law does not agree with the Word of God). Also, illegal drug use would fall under the same category. Also, 1 Peter 5:8 calls us to be sober and alert do that we can remain strong against the enemy. When we compromise our mind we become an easy target for the enemy. I feel the same is the case for being high. Also, 1 Corinthians 3:16-17, is the verse about our boy beig the temple of the Lord. We surrender our bodies to Christ when we give Him out lives, and with this we surrender our fleshly desires. We choose to leave those things alone because it compromises our minds as well as our ability to witness. If the world is so accepting of it, is that not also an indicator? We are called to be holy and sanctified, set apart an different from the world. See: John 15:19, 1 John 2:15, and James 4:4. Hope this helps! I apologize if I come off preachy in any of this, I am simply very convicted to abstain from all alcohol and drugs. However, I don't judge for it, people close to me struggle with it, which spurred my conviction.

Walk in all the light that you have.

I do not believe that you would go to hell for having a sip or two of alcohol underage. I turned 18 and I was allowed to have a small glass of champagne with my parents at new years and i had no guilt afterwards.
As for getting drunk or high, I personally have no desire at all because frankly i am scared of losing control of my mind and my actions, not to mention the effects it could have on my body.

I will say this, from what I have learned about alcohol, even the smallest bit of it can affect you. That said, anyone who is under the legal age of drinking shouldn't drink. It has many risks that I don't think they can handle. I can't quite say it's a sin but it does go against the law of the government, which as Christians, we are encouraged to obey unless it goes against God's word.

As for getting high, occasional can lead to frequent use. Which can really escalte. When all is said and done, it is probably safe to not get high at all.

It's okay, asking questions is how we learn things.

Ok sorry but one last question, and this may sound really stupid don't get me wrong I understand that doing other drugs may lead to frequent use but what about doing weed like every now and then? I mean it's not really addictive right so is it really that harmful? Sorry, for these question...
And thank you for everyones answers, I really appreciate them

Hi It appears my post didn't show up when I tried to do it earlier so i'm just going to post a more condensed version. I don't think you should try to do weed as it can lead to bad things and I believe that it is a sin. I also believe that it can open the door to evil spirits but i'm not so sure about that. About the alcohol drinks you should watch these videos by teacher and evangelist Perry Stone Jr.
Pt 1



Pt 2



Anyways this is between you and God so forgive me if I come off as judgemental, I don't mean to be that way, God Bless you!
