Maybe some of the brethren that use wine for the communion might have some insight here.

Where in scripture is hard liquor mentioned?

"Strong drink"
Proverbs 20:1 "Wine is a mocker, strong drink is raging: and whosoever is deceived thereby is not wise."
According to Strong's, "strong drink" means "...an intoxicant, that is, intensely alcoholic liquor: - strong drink, + drunkard, strong wine."

I was so sick several years ago that I was just about to call my friend to bring over some of her port wine. I read it was especially used for medicinal purposes. Being that I used to drink a lot before I was in church, I was scared to try, but being that sick - I almost took the plunge.

Re: Wine For Medicinal Purposes ?
Scripturally, a drink of wine is not sinful, BUT I think there are plenty of good practical reasons to abstain from drinking completely, AND there are LOTS of scriptures that indicate a lack of wisdom in drinking. Add to that a culture of excess, and a history of alcoholism in my family, and that's enough to advise my children against drinking whatsoever.

I didn't realize they knew how to make liquor that far back.

LOL... This has nothing to do with the thread..but anyway... I was reminded of when I was about 16 or 17. I grew up in an apostolic home so I never had a drink of wine before... No big deal... But I was over a friends house and I was curious what the big deal was...Why was my friend so anxious to have a drink when her parents weren't home... What was so great about the taste of wine... Sooooo.... She poured me a small amount of which I tasted... Kind of like you would taste a new coffee or something else... I let it sit in my mouth...Thought about that after taste... and that was it... I wasn't tempted to get wasted....I wasn't even doing it out of rebellion...no big deal right? WRONG.... my cousins were there also, did the same thing...but before I was home, they had called my mother and told them I was drinking wine....LOL...Those backstabbers....  They were happy to see me in trouble... 
anyway, carry on! |
We used to sneak my uncle's cigarettes and go out to the pasture and smoke. I'm so thankful I never got hooked on cigarettes! Whatever adults in your life are doing, kids are going to want to check that out!
Glad you didn't get drunk.
