Following Christ
Since I drank a beer at my minister's house a couple of times, I'm guessing 'No'. Considering Jesus not only turned water into wine, but the guests considered it the 'good stuff', I don't see alcohol itself as the problem. John 2:1-10Todd said:...Anyway, my question is, is drinking alcohol against your belief/faith, and if so, why?...
The problem begins when people do not stop drinking before they get drunk and begin to act inappropriately. Many of us know people who have gotten in trouble with other people and the law because they could not control themselves. Many people get in fights, others drive drunk, and some even lose their jobs because they miss work or show up at work drunk.
I think Benjamin Franklin's words on the subject are pretty good. I believe he said 'Eat not to dullness. Drink not to drunkeness. Everything in moderation.', or words to that effect. It's not always easy or fun to stop drinking when your friends are urging you to have one more round, but sometimes we have to be adults and know when to say when.
