The son of Man came eating and drinking, and they say, Here is a glutton and a drunkard, a friend of tax collectors and sinners Matt: 11-18-20 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You're drinking beer that's 14% alcohol?! That's a lot of alcohol for a beer! They're usually only 6% or 9% Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't believe that Jesus drank alcohol...I believe that drinking alcohol in public is a sin. I don't think there is any scriptural or historical evidence that Jesus definitively drank alcohol. I don't think there is enough evidence in scripture to condemn a person who drinks alcohol in the privacy of their own home where they cannot be a stumbling block to others.
