    Thanks for the clarification. I used to drink too but i quit when I got saved... The reason is that.. It starts with one small sip... Next thing you know you are addicted. So since that time I have not touched it.. It's because of Jesus my saviour, all glory to Him!!!

      But you can be addicted to a lot of things other than alcohol.
      Sex, money, food, technology are all things that you can start doing or using a little bit but then get fully addicted to it.

      So you can have sex with prostitutes as long as you don’t get addicted it’s ok? You can steal a little bit, but don’t steal a lot?

      @@DunkBoi True, but we have to eat, and technology is everywhere, but we ABSOLUTELY don't need to drink or do drugs.

    When exactly is an individual Christian officially drunk? How many ounces of alcohol before one crosses that line? What blood alcohol concentration makes a person officially chemically drunk? .02? .05? .08? Until we can find that exact official chemical measurement, we can not say consuming alcohol as a Christian is acceptable to Jesus. It is better that all of us Christians promote, support, teach and practice abstinence from all mind altering chemicals, alcohol being the most harmful. Praise Jesus.

    The Bible says, "No drunkard will inherit the kingdom of God." The Greek word translated as drunkard is methusos, and it means to get tipsy. Websters says, tipsy means slightly intoxicated. Why risk eternity in Heaven with Christ for alcohol. As far as Timothy being told he could drink for medicinal purposes doesn't really apply today; we have grocery stores and pharmacies that sell all the medicine we need. Don't drink; you won't need to worry about drunk driving. Don't drink; you won't need to worry about becoming an alcoholic. Don't drink and you won't have to worry about drunkenness disqualifying you from eternity in Heaven. Also, it is obviously a bad witness.
