Danny Castle - What the Bible Says About Alcohol

Proverb 20 1, “Wine is a mocker, strong drink is raging: and whosoever is deceived thereby is not wise.”
Proverb 20 17, “Bread of deceit is sweet to a man; but afterwards his mouth shall be filled with gravel.”

"Wine is a mocker, strong drink is raging: and whosoever is deceived thereby is not wise." —Proverb 20:1

And by the way, God hates beer too! Did you know that alcohol is such a serious matter to God that He sends people to Hell for it? Please read Galatians 5:19-21. I can hear someone saying, "But if God hates beer, then why did he create it?" God didn't, sinful men make beer. But if you want to argue the point, then consider that God also created Poison Ivy. Should we rub Poison Ivy all over ourselves because God made it? This is the flawed mentality of substance abusers today. People say, "If God didn't want us to smoke, then why did He create tobacco?" Well, God created snapping turtles and skunks too, but I wouldn't recommend getting too close to either.

The truth is that mankind has always sought that which is forbidden, because of his inherent sin-nature that rages in disobedience and wrath against a Holy God (Ephesians 2:1-3). Go anywhere in the world today where there is sin and you'll find booze. Go into any strip-joint and you'll find beer. Go into any gambling casino and you'll find beer. Alcohol today is a multi-billion dollar industry in America alone.

Beer is a woeful evil. Booze has brought a curse upon America. Most people today laugh at the notion that beer is sinful; yet the same people see no problem with prostitution, fornication, pornography, gambling, abortion, dancing, rock-n-roll, witchcraft, homosexuality, and most other sins.

There is a sinful attitude that is prevalent amongst beer drinkers. It's just a fact that nearly all beer drinkers have a lenient attitude towards sin. Beer and loose women are inseparable. Where there is beer, you'll find sin. Beer drinkers are often fornicators, and have a spiteful attitude towards the Bible. Beer drinkers are selfish, willing to risk killing others by their own foolish drinking. Argue if you will, but the facts CAN'T be denied...
