Question
What is your opinion about drinking wine?

Answer
Slaughter,

I fully believe that in the New Testament and even the Old that drinking was not bad. The act of getting drunk and it controlling your life is the problem. The Christian has to be careful not to make others fall and not to take liberty under grace. There is no warnings about any particular food or drink. The problems always comes in when someone takes any thing and it controls. I guess what I am saying is that drinking wine is ok, as long as it does not become something that consumes your life and separates you from God.
