ESPECIALLY ON WEEKENDS, ALCOHOL BRINGS A DECEIVED PROMISE OF “JOY”, OF FORGETTING PROBLEMS. BUT, IN ACTUALLY, IT TAKES AWAY FROM YOUR SOBRIETY AND YOUR COGNITIVE CAPACITY OF DISCERNMENT, YOUR CONSCIOUSNESS IS AFFECTED AND YOUR ACTS TOO… WATCH! DON'T DESTROY YOUR FAMILY!

Most of the time when an alcoholic beverage is referred to in the Bible, wine is alluded to.

Despite being
part of food, we have several situations in which God asks his servants to refrain from wine - or any strong drink - as a way of consecrating themselves to Him for a certain time.

The risk of addiction is present in every alcoholic drink. Despite being related to joy, the Bible shows us the sad consequences of a life that becomes dependent on alcohol and not on God.
