What is Alcohol exactly?
Its simple, Alcohol is a POISON. Its toxic to the human body. Ethanol (C2H50H) is
found in the Alcohol of wine, beer, and brandy. Ethanol is a clear, highly
flammable liquid that has a burning taste and a unique taste. Death can/does
occur if Ethanol in your bloodstream reaches above 5%! But lower doses still
takes its toll on the body. Such as: Immediate behavioral changes, impairment of
vision and unconsciousness can happen at lower doses.
What drugs have similar effects? Heroin and Marijuana just to name a couple. How
many churches do you know that would suggest you use those drugs/poisens
moderately in a social setting, or even to just calm the nerves before bedtime?
Why would Alcohol not be listed with those drugs to avoid?

"Confusing" Bible verses clarified
9 and the master of the banquet tasted the water that had been turned into wine.
He did not realize where it had come from, though the servants who had drawn the
water knew. Then he called the bridegroom aside 10 and said, “Everyone brings
out the choice wine first and then the cheaper wine after the guests have had too
much to drink; but you have saved the best till now.” John 2:9,10

People who support moderate Alcohol drinking read this verse and say AHHHH
HAAAAA! Jesus made Alcohol! But WAIT! Lets take a closer look. There were 6
pots. Each pot would hold 20-30 gallons. Thats up to 180 gallons of drink. Do
you think Jesus make 180 gallons of a destructive drug? Enough to get everyone
drunk at the wedding? He would have been contradicting the scriptures.

These scriptures state Jesus would never have made fermented wine. The
Governor of the feast complimented the groom on the PURE quality. Some people
think the Bible says its OK to drink a little fermented wine in moderation.
Deuteronomy 14:26 has been used as an excuse to drink Alcohol.

This verse never says its OK to drink the wine. (strong drink) It talks about how they
were to transport offerings to present to the Lord when traveling long distances.
Moses told them to carry money rather then haul the offerings of grain, wine, and
beasts long distances. When they arrived at their destination they were to buy
whatever they needed for offerings. The animal sacrifices were allowed to be eaten
afterwards but the drink offerings were commanded to be poured out onto the
ground. Numbers 28:7

9 “You and your sons are not to drink wine or other fermented drink whenever you
go into the Tent of Meeting, or you will die. This is a lasting ordinance for the
generations to come. 10 You must distinguish between the holy and the common,
between the unclean and the clean, 11 and you must teach the Israelites all the
decrees the LORD has given them through Moses. ” Leviticus 10:9-11

Some say, What about the last supper?
Some say Jesus drank wine at the last supper, and said it was a symbol of his
purifying blood. So how can drinking a little wine be bad? There is no arguing that
Jesus used wine at the last supper, but it is a mistake to assume that the wine was
fermented. (strong drink)
Examples:
29 I tell you, I will not drink of this fruit of the vine from now on until that day when I
drink it anew with you in my Father’s kingdom.” Matthew 26:29
17 Neither do men pour new wine into old wineskins. If they do, the skins will burst,
the wine will run out and the wineskins will be ruined. No, they pour new wine into new
wineskins, and both are preserved.” Matthew 9:17
2 With her the kings of the earth committed adultery and the inhabitants of the earth
were intoxicated with the wine of her adulteries.” Revelation 17:2
8 But Daniel resolved not to defile himself with the royal food and wine, and he asked
the chief official for permission not to defile himself this way. Daniel 1:8

Was Jesus a Drunk?
The Pharisees claimed Jesus was a winebibber, drunkard and glutton. They also
said he had a devil and blasphemed God. We know he wasn't a glutton, demon,
possessed, and or a blasphemer. So why would one assume Jesus liked strong
drink? When Jesus hung on the cross a Roman soldier offered him fermented wine.
But as soon as Jesus tasted it, he recognized it was fermented and refused it.
Matthew 27:34
34 There they offered Jesus wine to drink, mixed with gall; but after tasting it, he
refused to drink it. Matthew 27:34
As Jesus was suffering in pain and being tormented with EXTREME thirst, why would
he refuse it if he normally drank wine? And more to the point, why should we drink it?

Examples:
Noah stumbles around naked in front of his sons, then is violated by Ham. Gen 9:21
Lot drank, then was easily seduced by his own daughters into sex with them. Gen
19:33
There is plenty of evidence today to support Alcohol has a hand in adultery, rape,
incest, and murder to name a few.
More Examples:
Then the children of Israel drank, strip naked and danced and worshipped around a
golden calf. This fermented get together ended in a massacre. Ex 32:6,25
Amnon a drinker, son of David, raped his half sister Tamar. He lost his life at the
hands of his angry brothers while intoxicated. 2 Sam 13:28
Job's sons and daughters eating and drinking wine when they were destroyed. Job
1:13
These are just a few examples in the Bible of bad things that happen when God's
people drink strong drink. You have to wonder why would any genuine Christian
argue in defense of Alcohol?

29 Who has woe? Who has sorrow? Who has strife? Who has complaints? Who has

30 Those who linger over wine, who go to sample bowls of mixed wine.
31 Do not gaze at wine when it is red, when it sparkles in the cup, when it goes down
smoothly!
32 In the end it bites like a snake and poisons like a viper.
33 Your eyes will see strange sights and your mind imagine confusing things.
34 You will be like one sleeping on the high seas, lying on top of the rigging.
35 “They hit me,” you will say, “but I’m not hurt! They beat me, but I don’t feel it!
When will I wake up so I can find another drink?” Proverbs 23:29-35

beer,’ he would be just the prophet for this people! Micah 2:11

We are to be Priests, Kings, and a holy nation. Moderate drinking is not God's
answer! God tells us to go without strong drink/ fermented wine. New wine (grape
juice) is acceptable and good for the stomach.

you are to speak to the Israelites.” Exodus 19:6

belonging to God, that you may declare the praises of him who called you out of
darkness into his wonderful light. 1 Peter 2:9
