positive contexts such as celebrations and religious ceremonies. Jesus himself famously turned water into wine at the wedding in Cana (John 2:1-11). However, the Bible does caution against drunkenness and the negative consequences associated with excessive drinking. Ephesians 5:18 advises believers not to be drunk with wine but to be filled with the Spirit. Proverbs 20:1 warns, “Wine is a mocker, strong drink is raging: and whosoever is deceived thereby is not wise.” The key principle here is moderation and self-control.

It’s essential for Christians to be mindful of their consumption and its effects on themselves and others.

Ultimately, the decision to drink alcohol is a personal one guided by individual convictions, cultural norms, and biblical principles. Christians should seek wisdom, discernment, and accountability when making choices regarding alcohol consumption, always striving to honor God in all aspects of their lives
