Do you all know the difference between Catholics and Baptists when it comes to alcohol? Catholics will actually acknowledge each other at the liquor store.
As the old catholic joke goes, where there are 4 priests there is always 1/5...
These pictures speak a thousand words!Here is an example of drinking way too much! They don't even look like the same women.

The Bible: half the truth is no truth, cherry picked verses are not fruit, and whosoever tries to create their own Bible by doing the aforementioned is deceived and not wise
applies right across the board, not just to this topic, however, I am pretty sure that we are seeing a pattern here
alcohol can be a deadly, the same as legal and ill-legal drugs, over consumption of bad foods,
smoking, legal and ill-legal, technology, etc. the list just goes on and on...
the question we should always ask ourselves is, 'do any of these things separate us from
being the very best we can for Jesus?

[for me anyway] "There is nothing from without [outside] a man, that entering into him can defile [corrupt] him: but the things which come out of him, those are they that defile the man. (Mark 7:14-23) this is v15. Likewise in (Matthew 15:10-11 & 15.20)
It is the intent of the heart of the person is what corrupt them: if the intent is to become intoxicated, then that is what came forth from the heart, and so it is with all things that we think, say, and do.

People lose control of themselves when intoxicated. In fact, some people function in complete "black-out" mode while intoxicated beyond a certain point. It is no accident that the word "toxic" is part of the whole equation. Alcohol is often a deadly poison that feeds the insatiable desires of the flesh.

I have an occasional glass of wine, but if I never had any again I wouldn't miss it. When you want it every day, you could be headed for a problem.
People are often surprised to discover that the 12 step program of Alcoholics Anonymous was built on a Christian model with spiritual principles coming straight from Scripture. At its core is the development and maintenance of a personal relationship with God. Hundreds of 12 step fellowships have sprung out of the original from 1935, dealing with pretty much every problem imaginable. Millions have been helped to overcome a helpless and hopeless state of existence.
well....I'm pretty sure that anyone who is intoxicated is not being the "best they can be" for Jesus........UNLESS they are DRUNK ON NEW WINE!
...um, uh, er, wonder where the idea of "thou shat nots" came from? ....um, er, hmm
Every person alive lives by Laws/Rules......some have a set of principles they adhere to......BUT every person alive lives by a set of Laws/Rules
(just saying)
Of the examples you listed, which one has an IMMEDIATE and NEGATIVE effect upon a persons physical and mental abilities?
(I gave you a hint)
Imagine if our Government placed the same restrictions/percentage of taxes on alcohol that they do on tobacco?
Why? Just leave it alone. It never helps anyone, it does do a lot of harm.
Proverbs 31:1-9 says, that it's not for kings and princes to drink wine or intoxicating drink, ( leaders, in home counts for family) it distracts and drags down.
Leave it out of your life. Don't even give the opportunity or the appearance of evil.
It's a Scientific Fact that 97% of men who drink do so because of WOMEN!

p, your my friend, I respect you 100%, you are a solid brother in Christ, and I hope we can still be friends after this.
but southern Baptists are wrong about their anti-alcohol stance. it is not Biblical. drunkenness is a sin. having a drink is not. pay attention at the tailgates. look at the people yelling, cursing, spilling beer everywhere. then look at the folks quietly sipping on some wine, talking among themselves. don't lump them in the same boat, because it is not the same thing. sorry man. have to disagree with you on this.
