Beer, wine, vodka, whiskey it s all available at the corner bar, or at your local state liquor store. It has never been easier to get drunk than it is right now in America, which also means it has never been easier to become an alcoholic. People often describe alcoholism as a disease. It is more helpful to call the abuse of alcohol a sin, and at the same time to recognize that it is the kind of sin that enslaves the body as well as the soul. To summarize, the biblical position on alcohol is liberty without license.
Christians are free to drink a modicum of wine and other beverages.
They are also free not to drink. As a matter of prudence, Christians who have personally escaped from bondage to alcohol often find it better not to drink at all. This, too, is a way of exercising Christian freedom, for we are at as much liberty not to drink as we are to drink. However we exercise our liberty, we must careful to avoid alcohol license. Be careful about the company you keep.
