Is Alcohol Prohibited in Scripture?

With regard to the question of alcohol, that doesn’t mean that Paul prohibited it. In fact, he told Timothy to drink a little bit of wine to settle his stomach (1 Tim. 5:23). This means that Paul didn’t think of wine or alcohol as inherently sinful.

This makes sense, actually, given some of what we read in the Old Testament. Among the blessings Moses told the Israelites God would reward them with for their faithfulness to him was wine. “God will also bless the fruit of your womb and the fruit of your ground, your grain and your wine and your oil, the increase of your herds and the young, your flock, in all the land that he swore to your fathers to give you (Deut. 7:13) Or, just a little bit later in Deuteronomy, he said, “God will give the rain for your land in its season, the early rain and the later rain, that you may gather your grain and your wine and your oil” (Deut. 11:14). So wine is pictured as a gift, a blessing from God. Note even what the psalmist said: “You caused the grass to grow for the livestock and plants for man to cultivate, that he may bring forth food from the earth, and wine to gladden the heart of man, oil to make his face shine, and bread to strengthen man’s heart” (Ps. 104:14–15).

What does the Bible say about drinking alcohol?

Scripture has much to say regarding the drinking of alcohol (Leviticus 10:9; Numbers 6:3; Deuteronomy 29:6; Judges 13:4, 7, 14; Proverbs 20:1; 31:4; Isaiah 5:11, 22; 24:9; 28:7; 29:9; 56:12). Included are multiple warnings against the misuse of alcohol, but Scripture does not necessarily forbid a Christian from drinking beer, wine, or any other drink containing alcohol. In fact, some passages of Scripture discuss alcohol in positive terms. Ecclesiastes 9:7 instructs, “Drink your wine with a joyful heart.” Psalm 104:15 states that God gives wine “that gladdens human hearts.” Amos 9:14 discusses drinking wine from your own vineyard as a sign of God’s blessing. Isaiah 55:1 encourages, “Come, buy wine and milk without money and without cost.”
