Well, here's another to consider...

Deuteronomy 14:22-26
22 “You will surely set aside a tenth of all the yield of your seed that comes from the field year by year. 23 You are to eat the tithe of your grain, your new wine, your oil, and the firstborn of your herd and flock, before Adonai your God in the place He chooses to make His Name dwell, so that you may learn to fear Adonai your God always. 24 Now suppose the way is too long for you, for you cannot carry the tithe because the place Adonai your God chooses to set His Name is too far from you. When Adonai your God blesses you, 25 then you are to exchange the tithe for silver, bind up the silver in your hand, and go to the place that Adonai your God chooses. 26 You may spend the money for whatever your soul desires—cattle, sheep, wine, strong drink, or whatever your soul asks of you. Then you will eat there before Adonai your God and rejoice—you and your household.

Now don't go telling your pastor that you took the tithe and bought strong drink or wine for rejoicing... He's gone tell ya that all that parts been done away with and to put yo money in the basket... 🤔🤷😀

i get the idea you are joking just to check answers. there's only 1 answer to that ? NO! A Christian may drink 10 beers because of some hardship but his spirit will tell him: "no, don't do that"! & eventually, he or she will listen & obey the nudging of the H.S.
Yep good point.

Is it okay to drink a beer?
According to Benjamin Franklin, beer is proof that God loves us, and wants us to be happy.

I don't think that's actual scripture, but I like the way he thinks.

Just do as Jesus taught us... do all things in moderation... anything that "controls" us is not good.

This is the only beer that I can remember actually enjoying all the way to the bottom.

But it's no longer available in my region. :confused:

In the summer, I like to have one every day or so. Dos Equis is sort of my "go-to", with salt on the rim, and a wedge of lime. Very refreshing.
Stella Artois is a nice one, as well. I don't much care for the "domestics" .... Mich Ultra with lime is one rare exception.
In my younger years, I drank quite a bit of beer... more than I should have.
Now, I am more into having one quality beer, than having 4 or 5 cheaper ones.

I suppose one is liable to go to hell by drinking from a water fountain.

What about Jim Beam? For sure that stuff must be taking one straight to hell. Especially on the rocks.
They should probably learn to drink it neat as there is no ice in hell.

Diplomatico Rum is my newfound favorite strong drink, but it is too expensive to have within the mister's reach. #wistfully sighing

oh, goodness, yes..... Jack Daniels (Gentleman Jack) is the one to choose.... Beam is sinful.

Jameson Black Barrel is even better.

To basic biblical facts.

Jesus turn water into wine for a drunken wedding feast, tens of gallons of water into 1st class wine.

We are to.d not to get drunk.

So if you enjoy a beer, or a couple of glasses of wine with a meal or relaxing with a g&t go ahead.

Just don't be a bad example to others y getting drunk.


As to what to drink, a nice dark bitter, or a full bodied red, or a single malt.

Whose buying the next round.
