Drunkers and alcohol intakers say "drunkeness" is what the Bible kicks against, as stated in gal 5 vs 19, ignoring the fact that alcohol is highly tempting. They use this word "drunkeness" to justify theirselves. When you take it, it demands you to take it more and more till you become drunk. There is no way you take alcohol and be not drunk. It may not be the day you start taking it. It may be long term, that is, after you must hav started taking more than the usual bottle you always take before or upgrading to higher alcoholic drink. And mind you, the day you change from taking a particular number of bottle(s) to more or the day you upgrade to higher alcoholic content alcohol you will inevitably be drunk because your body system will react to the change.

audible to the deaf...but the drunkards shall not believe.

U keep mentioning drunken and drunkards. The bible clearly against drunkeness and over-indulgence in alcohol. But not drinking alcohol completely I doubt that:

U should read this: Psalms 104: 14,15 and Also Jesus words in Matthew 11:19

Una just dey make me laugh, the wine Jesus and his disciples drank was it alcoholic or not? After the last supper why could the disciples not stay awake? (They drank and made merry, yep alcoholic wine) The miracle of changing water into wine at the wedding at cana, was it eva wine Jesus changed water into? Nope alcoholic wine. Jesus made reference to new wine in new skins and old wine in old skins he was referring to.... Wait for it... Yep alcoholic wine.

LOL, yes I did read the introductory part, we usually want justify ourselves when we drink alcohol and all.

Yes, I have been drunk before in all honesty but that was because I Over-indulged. I know you would want to argue the point of won't it be better not to drink @ all instead of trying to drink and not get drunk.

I drank a can of Orijin yesterday and I still retained motor functions perfectly, would you say I sinned by drinking that can of orijin?
