I said it might be ok to have 1 beer or glass of wine with dinner, maybe 2 but that is stretching it. Any more than that is too much regardless if you are drunk or not. No christian should ever drink enough to know what it would take to get them drunk. And a true follower of Christ someone who is truly seeking after God's heart would more than likely not drink at all.

Beer wouldnt be considered strong drink, particularly not the light beers. Most of the scriptures are against drunkardness, not because drink is wrong of itself, but because of what it leads to if taken in excess - violence, fighting, sexual immorality etc. In Eph 5:18 I suppose you missed reading the bit where it says "wherein is excess", meaning, the kind of drunkeness which leads to riotous or excessive living. In other words, getting drunk or "plastered", for the sole purpose of getting drunk, as many do today. It doesn't seem to prohibit getting drunk for accidentally drinking too much or drinking at all, on occasion. But it only prohibits the use of alcohol for the purpose of getting drunk which would lead to riotous living and a substitute for the Holy Spirit in your life.
The way they get lower carbs results in lower alcohol content as well. It obviously depends on the brand, and there are some light beers that run at the same alcohol content, but, in Australia for most light beers, it is both and in contrast - less calorie beer that runs at higher alcohol content is usually called "low-carb" beer, in Australia light beer does mean less alcohol content primarily, less than 3% or something. Obviously you don't know enough about beer to comment.

I'm still confused how this thread switched topics, but regardless of that...we had a really great sermon at church the other night about exactly this.
If I can get my hands on a copy of it, I will let you know. It was about the whole drinking/drunk debate. It was thought-provoking and really challenging!
