For the record I'm firmly in the 'don't drink' category. I don't think having a beer or whatever is a sin in and of itself... But I do believe it opens the door to paths I'd as soon not travel.
Where did the Lord Condemn ALL drinking of alcohol in Bible?

Can somebody pass the popcorn?

I don't know Gib. Are you sure you want to partake of the popcorn with the rest of us? It might make you a Calvinist.
Thanks Iconoclast. I saw Iron Man 3 and Fast and Furious 6 (wasn't bad actually). Hoping to see the new Star Trek this weekend. -

He didn't but getting drunk (buzzed) is condemned. -

I think I've ask this before, why do you drink ? It can't be because it taste good, you have to aquire a taste for it. So that means you had to endure the taste before you became accustom to it. So that means you wanted to be a socialite. Or could your reason for drinking be because you were heavy drinkers before the Lord saved you and you can't put it down ?

I drink because I like the taste and the fact it 'gladdens the heart of man'. I also like how it helps you fall asleep and now it also lower inhibitions. Some think this is bad, I disagree completely as it the object of the inhibition that makes it bad. -

I abused alcohol in my time especially in my teens.
Would wake up sometimes with the police politely sitting in our living room (my dad was a cop, too) waiting for me to wake up so they could take me to lock up and wait for whoever it was whose store or establishment I messed up (my dad never stood between me and the law), or whoever owned the jaw or nose I musta broken.
They say there's no such thing as alcoholic black outs ?
yeah. right. -

I see you're still here.
no malice in that statement.
lol.

I tried once.
there just ain' no feature that deactivates somebody's account, it stays open, even if one is "banned", unless it's changed.
lotsa things changed around here since I joined, especially with regards to the ads.
anyways, yeah, I did go and read, and I stand corrected. -
