i Dont drink. i will not drink. for reasons above in previous post that say not to get drunk, but in my personal opinion, i will not do anything that could compromise my testimony.
if joe shmo saw me drinking down a 40, whats that to say about my testimony, Righteousness and holiness goes down the drain,
Dont get me started on jesus drinking the wine, becuase there are to many differences between then and now to even think that they are the same.
I believe, from Gods conviction and teaching on my life, I will not drink and i will not get drunk. Period.
its about time people started getting off the fence and pick a side.
I will not comment on post trying to battle my posts content, only honest questions will be responded to.

Yes drinking in excess is wrong. The Bible clearly says so. The Bible says do not be drunk with wine. It also says to stay away from strong drink. So for me personally I think it may be ok to maybe drink a glass of wine for health purposes only because thats no worse than taking a man made drug for health purposes, but drinking wine to get a buzz or drunk and drinking any kind of strong drink like beer , liquor or mixed drinks is wrong. But see christians can only be held accountable to this. A person has to have a relationship with God before they can see and realize the truth of Gods Word. Our goal should be to bring people to Christ, and then we can guide them as the Lord leads to make right decisions concerning how they live their life. Its all in the Word. If people will read it and ask God for clear understanding He will reveal His ways.
Well, what if the Bible had been written by people who lived in Eastern Europe where vodka consumption has been more common than wine consumption? Can we be totally sure that instead, we'd be sitting here demonizing liquers then?

I honestly will say that the whole your not yourself when drunk is a lie
Define "excess".If so, why?
I personally believe that it is wrong, because when you drink to excess, you're not yourself, and usually end up doing bad things, especially if you are surrounded by people who are doing bad things. At the very least, it's wasteful, because you throw up all the food that God gave you that day once you get too drunk. Plus, in Ephesians or somewhere it says something like "enjoy alcohol a little bit, but don't get drunk" (right?).
My girlfriend, however, is of the opinion, that drinking itself isn't wrong, it's what you do when you're drunk. She says if you get drunk and sleep around, then the sleeping around is wrong, not the drinking. She says that her uncles and stuff get drunk sometimes at home, and the only thing that happens is they just tell a lot of stories and stuff.
Basically, she think's it's totally okay to get drunk, as long as you've got good people looking out for you and you don't do anything horrible like get in fights or sleep around. What do you think?
