"Thanks to lobbying by the powerful alcohol industry, alcohol’s dangers may be underplayed and its benefits exaggerated. There are many well-established problems with drinking even at moderate levels that likely outweigh any potential benefits. Alcohol is the third-leading cause of premature death in the U.S. Alcohol use, even at low levels, is linked to a number of cancers, including breast, colorectal, liver and esophagus. Alcohol also causes a number of serious harms to others, many of them violence-related." If we would just listen to the Bible: "Wine [is] a mocker, strong drink [is] raging: and whosoever is deceived thereby is not wise" (Proverbs 20:1). Everyone is deceived if they think science supports a little drinking for health. How Christians especially have convinced themselves that a little buzz from even one glass is acceptable, is beyond belief. Those Christians that insist that Jesus turned water into alcohol or that Timothy was told to drink alcoholic wine are further deceived. Scripture does not contradict itself! Alcohol being condemned by the Bible is not supported in other parts of the Bible. In fact, all topics are that way. It is human injection that makes it so. Timothy drank grape juice -- non-alcoholic wine. Jesus turned water also into grape juice. He would not support drunkenness. If He refused the influence of strong drink on the cross, He certainly did not encourage drunken debauchery, even moderate drinking.
