14He causeth the grass to grow for the cattle, and herb for the service of man: that he may bring forth food out of the earth;
15And wine that maketh glad the heart of man, and oil to make his face to shine, and bread which strengtheneth man's heart.
I don't drink alcohol, and I think it's something that should be handled very carefully.... but the Bible definitely does not forbid it.

What I meant was how are we to judge ourselves on how much we are able to handle dealing with something like alcohol. It can so easily become sin. Alot of people say that they will just have a little of something, do it once, then end up going all the way or getting hooked. That's why MOTIVES are very important to examine. If its for a medical reason, or something of the like, then I believe God sees that. Yet if someone says its for something else yet are really dependent on it and it is a stumbling block in their Christian walk, they should examine that as well. I know God knows the heart, we don't.. I am not trying to condemn an honest soul, just expressing my personal opinion, and the need to self-examine. I just pray that us as the body of Christ do not fall into any type of deception and we would give ourselves wholly to Christ.
