Galatians 5:20, Revelation 9:21, and Revelation 18:23 use "pharmakeia" referring to the use of drugs as a form of idolatry.

How would you relate your comment to the use of drugs such as Aspirin, Tylenol, as well as to antibiotics?

How does the bible relate its admonition against sinful drug use, as opposed to the use of medications for our benefit?

1) Does the bible discourage seeking remedies for suffering such as from ill health? Nope see 1 Timothy 5:23

2) Certainly becoming dependent of drugs, i.e. substance abuse, does not fit with seeking beneficial aids to health.

3) Certainly we should not put our faith in drugs, rather than in God. But we can use sound aids to health, such as avoiding over indulgence, i.e gluttony, drunkenness, or debauchery. Like we do in the light of day, rather than hidden from others in the night.

4) Balms or salves are used in scripture, things known to provide some aid for what ails a person. See Revelation 3:18.

Dunkin Donuts have a new drink called “Spiked Coffee”… of course starting to distribute in Boston. Those people already drive erratically! And if they want to do that, skip the coffee and move straight to the Guinness for Pete’s sake:Coffee

wonder if DD will allow Credit Cards. If Krause Schwab is steering the ship, probably.

Will be of no interest to me. I don't like the taste of alcohol and see no reason to acquire a taste for it.

Have you considered the repercussion’s of drinking and driving in those communities selling the spiked coffee concoction?

I’m a Tim Horton guy myself and a diabetic so no sugar donuts for me.

I have looked around the internet and all I have found are packages to be sold in stores, just like other alcoholic beverages.

Are they just going to be selling it in packages in stores? Are they going to be selling it through drive-in windows?
The advertisement shows it in cans… still, for DD to entertain pouring
Lucifer (I mean liqueur) in coffee and selling it to the public seems strange.

I was never around such, but I have heard about alcoholic beverages being used to spike punch at parties.

There is an episode of "The Andy Griffith Show" in which Otis spikes the water crock.

It’s my firm belief that all this is spiritual warfare. When and where do we draw the line?

I think it was crossed over a LONG, LONG, LONG, LONG, LONG time ago, by Noah, who found grace in the eyes of God:

Genesis 9:20-21 And Noah began to be an husbandman, and he planted a vineyard: and he drank of the wine, and was drunken; and he was uncovered within his tent.
