As a Pastor people will ask me~ "Pastor is it wrong to drink a beer or a mixed drink?" I tell them this, I personally don't drink because if some lost person sees me drinking then he will use that against me because he thinks its wrong for a pastor to drink.
Another reason, the only reason I drank in the past was to get drunk, to loose touch with reality so the pain of a screwed up life would be eased for a little while.
Any thing that Christians do that can cause a Brother or Sister to stumble should not be done around those people.
So is drinking a sin, for me it is in my life. I can not Judge others for drinking. But remember this, anything that we do that is harmful to our bodies is wrong. Anything done to excess ( over eating, over drinking, over medicating, not getting enough rest) is a SIN.
19 So let’s try as hard as we can to do what will bring peace. Let’s do whatever will help each other grow stronger in faith.
20 Don’t let the eating of food destroy the work of God. All food is right to eat, but it is wrong for anyone to eat something that hurts the faith of another person.
21 It is better not to eat meat or drink wine or do anything else that hurts the faith of your brother or sister.
Romans 14: 19-21 ERV Bible.
