I think it's okay as long as it's not often and you don't get drunk.

I htink it is an individual choice. i like beer and wine but only one glass at a time and when i am eating something. I vey seldom drink because i have to be alert to take care of my daughter and alcohol makes me sleepy.

I try to remember to drink a glass of red wine daily, but I forget a lot.

The more you read the bible, the more you relize it does not say not to drink. And the doctors say to drink a magnum a day.

Moderation.The bible speaks against drunkeness but not drinking.
I say to avoid getting drunk is drink in moderation.
That is the hard part for some people.
I personally can live without it.

My husband is an alcoholic so I don't care for it.

There really isn't any point in drinking then?

For celebration it is good. And in moderation it can be good for you, depending on what you drink.

Not if you are drinking to get drunk!!

I work in the lives of young people who have alcohol problems. Some of the kids who I am involved with are full-blown alcoholics ; some of them are as young as 14 years old. And their biggest dream in life is to go completely straight.

I see alcohol as they do- a destructive force that has stripped them of their innocence and, quite possibly, of their futures.

So I have a big problem with alcohol whether it's used in excess or moderation.

But to each their own.

P.S. I applaud your two month abstinence from drinking. That takes tremendous strength. I wish my kids were as strong.

I do enjoy red wine with meals, I cannot have more than one glass.

We as Christians are allowed to have a drink but when we get drunk we loose control and starts sinning. This is where the problem lays, some people never know where to stop and then get hooked on alcohol.
I believe if there is alcoholic problems stay away from it even if it’s not you but your spouse or children. Never use alcohol when it’s going to let someone stumble.

Ha ha ha!

I gave up all alcohol because my tummy couldn't handle it, but my life straightened out as well, since when I drank socially I got too social! I thank God that I've had no desire for it since I quit!

What?

Some Christians choose not to drink for personal convictions, and I myself am such. I grew up with an alcoholic step-father and I want nothing to do with that, plus it dulls your senses and reaction time, and I would rather by sharp than dull. So I like sweet tea

Hi, The reason I'm against drinking is there no good that come from drinking. I have family that is Catholic and know other non-Catholics that drink everyday and it doesn't do anything good for them health wise. I was raised around these people for 38 years so I know what going on in these churches. Drinking to get drunk is a sin. I think when churches say nothing about people getting drunk is the same is saying it's ok to do it. I might getting trouble form Mods for saying this but it's true.

The same as with non-christians...It's all personal choice and moderation is key.

If someone tries to take away my Sam Adams I'll kick out their knee-caps... moderatly. That's ,my personal choice.

Hi there!



That's great that you haven't had a drink in two months...


It's a choice... and I personally believe that it can be a stumbling block to my Christian walk, so I choose not to drink any... I don't want anyone to look at me and say... "hey, she drinks so it must be okay for everyone!"

It's not okay for everyone.. and it isn't okay with me because God showed me differently. When God shows you differently, then do as He tells you to do.


A Christian walks in the light as they are given the light.

I'm not a big drinker, though I have before... It wasn't a good time for me then. I still do drink, every once in a while, but usually only with others. To me, it's a muscle relaxant and can help me get comfortable or loosen up to be able to have a jolly time with those I care about. Note, however, that doesn't mean I take it in large quantities so I can't feel my fingers or toes. There is nothing in the Bible against alcohol--Jesus even makes wine from water at one point in his life.
God Bless,
