Underage Drinking

Wine is a mocker, strong drink is a brawler, and whoever is led astray by them is not wise.

Do not get drunk on wine, which leads to reckless indiscretion. Instead, be filled with the Spirit.

But watch yourselves, or your hearts will be weighed down by dissipation, drunkenness, and the worries of life—and that day will spring upon you suddenly like a snare.

Let us behave decently, as in the daytime, not in carousing and drunkenness, not in sexual immorality and debauchery, not in dissension and jealousy.

Woe to those who are heroes in drinking wine and champions in mixing strong drink,

Woe to those who rise early in the morning in pursuit of strong drink, who linger into the evening, to be inflamed by wine.

He makes the grass grow for the livestock and provides crops for man to cultivate, bringing forth food from the earth:

…wine that gladdens the heart of man, oil that makes his face to shine, and bread that sustains his heart.
