Periodically, this question arises - and has no substance
whatsoever.
The Scriptures only ever warn us against the abuse of
alcohol and there are many more texts which warn against
gluttony.
We are told that we should 'not cause our brother to stumble' - and
this is self-evident. We must take great care with how and where and with whom
we drink.
On the positive side:
1) Jesus turned water into wine.
2) The Last Supper and Communion are celebrated in
wine.
3) Paul to Timothy recommends wine for his stomach.
Just remember that, "Alcohol is a good friend but a bad
enemy.'' You can argue that there are hosts of things from books to
computers which have a good side and a bad. It is how you deal with
them. If you cannot control your alcohol intake - that is the point to quit!
