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!

Lusting after a women is guilty of Adultery without ever committing a physical act. Hating your brother the Bible says is Murder. Would you agree that could be the same with other sins?

If you want something for your stomach why not drink grape juice? Better yet, go and get the fresh grape and squeeze them from the vine, don’t drink it cold, drink it warm. Your body is able to absorb the nutrients better when it’s warm rather than cold. Why go down the road of alcohol? Do we want to see how close to the edge we can get? “They did it in the Bible days” yah, so! Where did they use the bathroom? If your going to use that line for one thing you might as well use it for everything. It’s sad how people want to use the word of God that’s intended for life, and destroy themselves.
