Alcohol and the Christian

Daily Alcohol Can Lead to Binge Drinking
Sipping wine, beer, or spirits three to four times a week increases the risk of binge drinking, particularly among young men, according to a new study published in the journal Addiction.

Researchers from the University of Montreal and the University of Western Ontario analyzed the drinking habits of Canadians and found that frequent alcohol consumption can lead to binge drinking among all gender and age groups.

Infrequent drinkers rarely exceed two servings when they do consume alcoholic beverages, they found.

"The relationship between drinking frequency and consumption per occasion might be both cultural and biological," said study coauthor Andrée Demers, a University of Montreal sociology professor and director of the Research Group on the Social Aspects of Health and Prevention. "The Canadian drinking culture has a 'time-out' depiction of drinking. Alcohol is a boundary mark between week and weekend, work and leisure, and therefore between routine and time off."

The investigation established one drink as 5 ounces of wine; 1.5 ounces of liquor; 12 ounces of beer or cooler; 3 ounces of port, sherry, or vermouth. Regardless of drinking preferences, the study found that many Canadians consume alcoholic beverages on a daily basis to experience its mood-altering effects.

"Regular drinking builds up tolerance. Therefore daily drinkers will need more than their usual drink or two to make a difference with everyday life and gain that festive feeling," said lead author Catherine Paradis, a University of Montreal Ph.D. candidate. "That fosters drinking beyond healthy limits — at least sporadically and perhaps weekly — to five drinks or more per occasion. And five units is above the recommended limits of healthy drinking.

"There is no clear and universal understanding of what is moderate drinking. Its meaning varies between cultures and within cultures according to gender, age, socio-economic status and people's self-reported tolerance. Since regular drinking could increase alcohol abuse, Canadian drinking guidelines should take this aspect of the drinking pattern into account."

I just stopped by to say you don't know how to spell, the word is "heretic", and according to Scripture you are. Changing the meaning of plain, Biblical terms is wrong. Moderate alcohol consumption is the godly view. You do not have His view on alcohol.

@Victornotvictim77 A man that is an heretick after the first and second admonition reject;

Knowing that he that is such is subverted, and sinneth, being condemned of himself.

Titus 3:10,11

Daily eating of food can lead to gluttony. How about actually reading your Bible for a change-"Bless the Lord, O my soul! O Lord my God, You are very great . . . And (God makes) WINE that makes glad the heart of man, . . ." (Psalm 104:1, 15, NKJV)

thanks alot tired of hearing excuses

Moderate consumption of alcohol is the Biblical norm. To make a man made prohibition against it is a sin.

Good Vid-Ever heard of non-alcoholic wine or non-alcoholic beer – Busch NA? were so smart 2 make the ASSumption that wine promotion in the bible has alcohol added 2 it. not here to advocate against drinking or make anything illegal I want to know y cannabis (marijuana) is illegal. Y we oppress humanity from medicine that works. The bible, God, supports the herb bearing seed from Genesis. A plant that kills 0, never touched by man, purely nature – made from God.

Wow - grape juice and grape seed extract, talk about stretching scripture to match his preferred conclusions

[Imaginefree69]

Here are a couple more points to consider: 1- Jesus made, drank, and distributed wine. In fact, it was his FIRST miracle! John 2:1 - 11 2- Nothing that enters the mouth can defile a man. Matthew 15:11 3- Believers are not to judge one another on the basis of food, drink, or holy days. Romans 14: 1 - 22 4- God commanded the Jews to use their tithes to have a big party every year and to buy "strong drink" to take to the party. Deuteronomy 14:22-29 Why don't Christians obey their Bibles? Why?

Digg? Not really, because I can hardly make out what you're trying to say...

As for the content of your post that I can make sense of, it just appears to be another rant rooted in personal biases and preferences, with absolutely no scriptural basis. Thus it might as well just say, "nevermind what the Bible says, you're all wrong and going to hell because I say so!"

Sorry. It doesn't work like that.

[brenwilliams]

Actually, oinos can mean fermented wine. See for example Ephesians 5:18 I would also read Deuteronomy 14:26. In that verse God expressly permits the use of "strong drink," which pretty much cancels out all of these silly word games. Then, of course, we also have the plethora of verses forbiding drinking alcohol in certain situations and contexts, which would make no sense if alcohol was altogether banned.

In other words, perhaps you should take your own advice re: studying the Bible.
