The Biblical admonition is not to get drunk, there is no Biblical admonition not to have a beer.

I do not drink because I come from a family of alcoholics. My years studying and counseling alcoholics/addicts taught me that it is heredity . I went to a holiness church for years that had a no drinking doctrinal stand.

I feel free to have a glass of wine if I should choose. I just do not choose to. Enjoy your beer..it is Christian liberty to do so

I understand and have no problem at all with that reasoning. I've understood the Biblical teaching as you have. It's very edifying to have that understanding and support.

Is there now an alcoholic gene?
