Do you drink alcohol?

[Zebra]

there is yes or no as an answer

i will answer yes

 

[lg325]

Medicinal only. Acid Reflux or a bad cold or flu bug.

 

[Mr Natural]

I did until I got pancreatitis which they claimed was probably due to drinking.

I never want to go through that again so goodbye to drinking.

Have an alcoholic drink about once a month. Sometimes will have two a month

 

[Dekster]

Generally no. Maybe a cocktail or a glass of champagne at an event once in a blue moon. Alcohol has never really been my thing.....probably because for so many people in my family it has been their first and only love in life.

 

[buttercup]

Nope. I haven't had a drop of alcohol since November 2003. As I've said before, that decision is tied for 2nd best decision I ever made.

 

[Jonathan Archer]

I don't drink.

I’ve never understood the point of drinking only one drink

Just curious, nothing more. Do you believe drinking at all, is a sin?

Why do you do this! For God's sake, we can read!

 

[Carl in Michigan]

I never drink because my father and older brother were alcoholic. I didn't want to follow them down that path

Dang, you put me on the spot.

I wouldn't say that drinking in and itself is a sin. As we know, the bible says that drunkenness is a sin, and of course it's possible to drink and not get drunk. HOWEVER, (here's the controversial part where I'll probably catch a lot of flak) I do strongly believe that Christians shouldn't drink at all. I have many reasons for that... I don't want to write a whole essay here. But I've put a lot of thought into this, and long story short, I believe that as it says in 1 Cor 10:23, "All things are permissible, not all things are beneficial."

There's a lot more I could say about this, but it's a topic that could be a thread of its own.

I agree with that view. To me there are no redeeming qualities.
I only drink about an ounce of wine for the PASSOVER. That's it

 

[Concerned American]

Hmmmm. Nine votes and the result is 50/50? Who are the 1/2 voters, democrats?

I never saw the point in more.

 

[Concerned American]

I never saw the point in more.

I don't drink any more. I also don't drink any less. Moderation, No Judgements -- unlike this thread.

By today's definition, both my parents were "alcoholics." Functioning well, but depending on a steady flow of beer and later mixed drinks to get through the day. All four of my siblings have been considered alcoholics at various times in their lives. Now, my one brother will sometimes have a glass of wine; that's it.

I got drunk for the last time in 1973, and simply decided I never would that again, and I haven't. I have a drink a couple times a year, when it would be awkward not to.

I seriously do not see the point. I have NEVER had the thought that "I need a drink." It was a common statement in my house when I was growing up.

I never want to go through that again so goodbye to drinking.

I'd get a second opinion

 

[80zephyr]

I grew up in a tavern my parents owned. Yes, I still drink. Especially Friday night when friends and family get together.
