Is drinking alcohol a sin? It isn't. I mean in the Bible, Jesus did change water to wine on his first wedding he attended (John 2:1-11). "So Jesus drank wine, but Jesus did not sin; therefore, to drink wine or alcohol is not a sin...Based on the Bible, drinking alcohol is of itself not a sin or harmful. As stated previously, Paul told Timothy to drink a little wine to benefit his health. The latest scientific findings show drinking moderately is helpful for our heart and lowers cholesterol and high blood pressure."
However, I believe drinking out of control is a sin. That's tough but one must keep in mind, the Bible condemn drunkenness. Some just don't noticed how far they gone with alcohol. It happens! We are only humans. Honestly, the aftermath of being drunk is not so pretty. Who wants to be in the state of throwing up, getting headaches, and stomach cramps the next following day? What do you gain? Do remember anything? There are people who have solutions of not getting hangovers and continue to drink constantly. Solutions won't go anywhere but your own satisfaction. It's plain getting drunk is not living for God or his satisfaction. This is just a reminder not only for the trip to Las Vegas, but everyday life.
Ephesians 518 "Do not get drunk on wine, which leads to debauchery. Instead, be filled with the Spirit."

You have very good things to say about this. Perhaps I should print it out and stick in on the fridge.
