Scripture teaches that it is not wrong to use alcohol in moderation. Paul seemed to be recommending this for medicinal reasons. Alcoholism is also a disease. Like other drugs, it can be addictive. In such a case a person's body develops a chemical dependency to alcohol.
Alcoholism also leads to other diseases such a liver failure.
When treating someone with alcoholism it is important to remember these two points. Otherwise one will not be treating the entire problem of alcoholism. Let's, just for argument sake, say that all churches and doctrines that say these gifts aren't for today have been misguided and they really are for the church until Jesus returns. We don't say that God cannot still give the gifts today if he chooses. We simply note that the tongues of today are not languages as those that the apostles received were, that in Acts the gifts were always given by the apostles who were witnesses of Christ's ministry, that there can be no more apostles, that we are not promised the gifts will endure till Christ's return, that we are repeatedly warned against false wonders in the last days, and, most important of all, that those who claim the gifts today do not teach according to Scripture, but teach a false ecumenism.
