  1. What is my view of alcohol? Do I try to use God's Word to justify my desires or to guide my thinking?
2. If I do drink, could I stop? If so, will I? Do not get drunk on wine, which leads to debauchery. Instead, be filled with the Spirit. -Ephesians 5:18 (NIV) This verse is saying that the Spirit empowers for worship, service and testimony.
One can be under an influence that affects him, whether of wine or of the Spirit. A happy, mutual encouragement to praise God and a healthy, mutual relationship with people. If you are affected by alcohol you will not have this life. I drink every once in a while. It is far from everyday and really not even once a week. The Bible always talks about the abuse of alcohol or being drunk. I come no where near the point of abuse and I've never been drunk. I think that alcohol in moderation is fine but once you start abusing you are in trouble. I know that if someone told me I could never have alcohol again I would have no problem with that.
So, I must say that for me, alcohol is not a problem.
