Drinking

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

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

Be sober-minded and alert. Your adversary the devil prowls around like a roaring lion, seeking someone to devour.

…and envy; drunkenness, orgies, and the like. I warn you, as I did before, that those who practice such things will not inherit the kingdom of God.

Stop drinking only water and use a little wine instead, because of your stomach and your frequent ailments.

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

Instead, clothe yourselves with the Lord Jesus Christ, and make no provision for the desires of the flesh.

For John came neither eating nor drinking, and they say, ‘He has a demon!’

The Son of Man came eating and drinking, and they say, ‘Look at this glutton and drunkard, a friend of tax collectors and sinners!’ But wisdom is vindicated by her actions.”

Give strong drink to one who is perishing, and wine to the bitter in soul.

Let him drink and forget his poverty, and remember his misery no more.

It is better not to eat meat or drink wine or to do anything to cause your brother to stumble.

For you have spent enough time in the past carrying out the same desires as the Gentiles: living in debauchery, lust, drunkenness, orgies, carousing, and detestable idolatry.
