Deuteronomy 14:26
26 And thou shalt bestow that money for whatsoever thy soul lusteth after, for oxen, or for sheep, or for wine, or for strong drink, or for whatsoever thy soul desireth: and thou shalt eat there before the LORD thy God, and thou shalt rejoice, thou, and thine household,
Well according to this, strong drink is perfectly acceptable...and also a part of those tithes and OFFERINGS God demands we take part in and not rob Him over in
Malachi 3:8
