First what is sin? Billy Graham explained it: "Sin is any lack of conformity to the moral character of God or the law of God. We sin by thinking evil, speaking evil, acting evil or omitting good." Jesus obviously didn't see wine as evil or he wouldn't have made it out of water for the wedding. But if getting drunk causes you to make poor choices leading to sin, then alcohol is a tool that you can use to enhance your sinful lifestyle. Just like you can use a computer to watch hours of porn and your cell phone to meet women and cheat on your wife. But not a lot of people will say using a computer or cell phone is sinful, it is what you use it for that can be a sin.

Jesus drank wine but he did not do it often. The Bible does not say to abstain from alcohol the Bible says it is a sin to be intoxicated. Alcohol is a drug and can have many negative effects on the body. If you do drink alcohol do it only occasionally.

Here's one. 

Ephesians 5:18  And be not drunk with wine, wherein is excess; but be filled with the Spirit*.  KJV

 

*Spirit in this passage, refers to the Holy Spirit.

Chargedbyfaith,

Here are some verses from the Bible that mentions wine and drinking. There are actually more, but these cover drunkenness, drinking around someone who has a problem with drinking, drinking in moderation.

  • Proverbs 23:20, “Do not be among those who drink too much wine,”
  • Titus 2:3, “Similarly, teach the older women to live in a way that honors God. They must not slander others or be heavy drinkers.”
  • Psalms 104:14-15, “You cause grass to grow for the livestock and plants for people to use.You allow them to produce food from the earth— wine to make them glad.”
  • Ecclesiastes 3:13, “And people should eat and drink and enjoy the fruits of their labor, for these are gifts from God.”
  • Luke, 21:34, “But pay attention to yourselves that your hearts never become weighed down with overeating and heavy drinking and anxieties of life.”
  • Romans, 14:21, “It is best not to eat meat or drink wine or do anything over which your brother stumbles.”

Why do you think it is a sin to drink beer, wine or cider? At the wedding in Cannan Jesus turn something like a 100 gallons of water into wine!

He was accused of being a drunkard.

 

I can think of only one reason when one should not drink any form of alcohol and that is when you are with a recoveing alcoholic oh and when driving etc.

Otherwise drink sensible, not getting drunk or so tippsy that you are a bad witness.

You can do anything you like as long as you don't burden your self or any one else. if you drink, do it in Moderation and don't get intoxicated. Some people should never drink, but if your having one with family or friends,  give thanks when you do.

There aren't any scriptures that say you can't have any alcoholic beverages, what scriptures do say, is don't drink so much that you become drunk.  Too much alcohol, dulls the senses.

I think this sums it up perfectly.
