I do not advocate for drinking beer or wine. I would prefer people would not. Yet who am I that I would forbid it in total when Jesus himself did it? Matt 12:19

The prophet Daniel did? Dan. 10:3

Nonetheless when I was coming off my life of drunkeness and partying I immediately cut down to 2 beers. After a few times of that the 2 started getting to me. I cut down to 1. That did not last long as I felt it would be a better witness to drop it altogether. That was 1974. I have not desired it since that day.

Beer tastes bad. Other things taste much better. If I were very thirsty and had nothing else to drink I would drink it but for me in "excess" would be more than one.

For some one might be to much. Drink water, fruit juice, pop, ect if its available.You will be better off!

So basically you are say that 1 might be to much for some so they will have to sin to find that out right? 3 might be ok for some? But others will go to hell for one?!

I said IF.....I were thirsty, meaning I had nothing else to drink I would have no problem drinking a beer. I also said I do NOT advocate drinking.

It was YOU as I recall pushing to find out what drunk means. You demanded an answer. I gave you my best.

So....was Jesus in sin for drinking wine? Daniel? Timothy?

Well if it’s ok to drink and like you said our tolerances are all different somewhere you will have to cross the line right?? I don’t think Jesus, Paul or Timothy were grabbing a corona or Chardonnay from the fridge.

I dont know what corona or Chardonnay are. But I can be pretty sure they drank wine from the record of the Bible. I can also be pretty sure they did not get drunk.

Really... so are you saying every time the Bible in Hebrew or greek translates the “drink” into “ wine “ it’s talking about our kind of alcoholic beverages we have today?

What was the insult Jesus referred to when he said they called him a "winebibber"?

If drinking wine was merely drinking grape juice how was it an insult?

You can't get drunk on grape juice. You might be hitting the toilet but you won't get intoxicated. You don't believe Jesus turned water into grape juice.
