We have all heard: "But I just drink for the social life." Or, "As long as you're not getting drunk it's all right." I suppose there are at least a dozen more reasons (or excuses) that men give for "wanting" to drink wine, beer, liquor, etc. The Scriptures tell us in Ephesians 5:18, that wine is excess ! Now I know that most do not read it that way but, what does that have to do with the truth?
Then someone will say, "Didn't one verse say 'a little wine?'" Yes, it sure did! Don't you remember about reading in the context? (Short memory, huh?) There is a vast difference between good wine and bad wine. Bad wine becomes vinegar. Any herbalist will tell you of the value of "vinegar" for your infirmities. (That's the word used in I Timothy 5:23, if you haven't found it yet.) Vinegar is used to help with arthritis, athlete's foot, burns, dandruff, insect bites, sore throats and stomach problems (PH balance), etc.
When Jesus was conducting the last supper with his disciples, he says; "I will not drink henceforth of the fruit of the vine, until the day when I drink it new." He was referring to the juice in the cup (See Mark 14:25 and Luke 22:18 ).

Why am I the only one to list Scripture?
Do not be with heavy drinkers of wine, or with gluttonous eaters of meat; for the heavy drinker and the glutton will come to poverty, and drowsiness will clothe one with rags. - Proverbs 23:20&21, NASB
Proverbs 23
20 Be not among winebibbers; among riotous eaters of flesh:
21 For the drunkard and the glutton shall come to poverty: and drowsiness shall clothe a man with rags .KJV
