Many Christian advocates of drinking alcoholic wine point to a verse in 1 Timothy.

Paul says, "Drink no longer water, but use a little wine for thy stomach's sake and thine often infirmities" (1 Tim 5:23)


So my question is.."Is it right for a Christian to drink alcohol?
(Excess or little)

In ancient Israel God told His worshipers to bring ALCOHOLIC BEVERAGES into His place of worship, eat and drink. Deuteronomy 14:26

But excess of everything is bad!

For John the Baptist came neither eating bread nor drinking wine, and you say, ‘He has a demon.’ The Son of Man came eating and drinking, and you say, ‘Here is a glutton and a drunkard, a friend of tax collectors and sinners.’ ‭Luke 7:33-34 NIV‬


Please what type of drink could Jesus be talking in the presence of Pharisees before they can call him a DRUNKARD? Luke 14:1

Coke, Fanta or alcoholic beverages?
