Many Christians give excuses for taking alcoholic drinks, especially wine. Below I give 8 reasons why a Christian should never take alcoholic drinks, including wine.
1. The Bible condemns alcoholic drinks, including wine
“Do not gaze at wine when it is red,
when it sparkles in the cup,
when it goes down smoothly!
32 In the end it bites like a snake
and poisons like a viper.
33 Your eyes will see strange sights,
and your mind will imagine confusing things.
34 You will be like one sleeping on the high seas,
lying on top of the rigging.
35 “They hit me,” you will say, “but I’m not hurt!
They beat me, but I don’t feel it!
When will I wake up
so I can find another drink?”
2. The alcohol content distorts your mind and reasoning.
(See NIH: Alcohol’s damaging effects on the Brain) .
2. Alcohol demobilizes you body functions.

3. Alcohol disconnects you from God (have you ever seen an intoxicated person praying to God?)
4. Alcohol takes away all your power of the Holy Spirit. It leaves you spiritually powerless.
5. Alcohol may make you do indecent things as did Noah in Genesis 9:20-23
6. Alcoholic drinks will open doors to your life for demonic attacks.
7. Alcohol will make you utter worthless words
8. Alcohol takes away money you would have invested in God’s Kingdom
