Does alcohol relieve stress?

[Diatheosis]

do it the Jesus style, and the wine is not wine but most holy blood. Having a sip of this is the ultimate medicine of all times. It not only relieves stress but makes you partake God's eternal mercies in Jesus Christ. Yet, originally it was wine with some alcohol in it.

 

The only occasion I consider consuming what resembles alcohol.

What do you mean by "do it the Jesus style, and the wine is not wine but most holy blood"

I think he is talking about communion, as many churches use real wine for it because that is what Jesus used at the last supper. Though realistically, wine was common at passover feasts and its safe to assume that since everyone at the last supper didn't see anything unusual or speak against the wines presence that this was not the first time they saw Jesus drinking wine. Also important to note that Jesus first miracle was to turn water to wine just to keep the party going so to speak. So I guess if we are to drink it the way Jesus would we would have to start with water and turn it into wine first. Then it would be OK.

When Jesus celebrated the Passover with his Disciples shorly before this Crucifixion he referred to eating and drinking in the Kingdom.

Mark 14:25

25 Truly, I say to you, I will not drink again of the fruit of the vine until that day when I drink it new in the kingdom of God.”So we will drink wine with Jesus at the Feast in Heaven as Christians.

That is not Biblical.

Whiskey sour. One every two to three years. Sometimes as much as six or seven years between. Just hits the spot. When I was a youngster it was white russians or black russians depending on my mood. Beer on rare occasion.

 

If one is not an alcoholic I see no problem with a responsible drink on occasion.

 

Irresponsible drinking is wrong (some times dead wrong).

 

And alcoholics cannot touch a drop! I have a niece and three nephews who inherited my brother-in-law's alcoholism and none of them can touch a drop without major bad things happening and none of them can resist it either. And none of them can be told otherwise.

 

If they'd match me drink for drink I'd never touch another drop so long as I live... but they won't. 

 

Their brother, my nephew, mixed the drug that makes you sick when you drink with a bender (I didn't understand the details exactly how or why he took both). It killed him. About 3 years ago. A wasted life... for booze.

Actually its more so then you may think-the bible refers to both new and old wine in the nt and historically the Jews did drink new(unfermented) wine as well as fermented wine.

For me drinking is a no no.  Not because I have a problem.  I just have never liked the taste or smell of it and as a Christian the Lord has laid on my heart that is has no place in my life.  I cannot say for other that it's wrong but for me it is.
