“ Drunkenness is sinful and destructive ” Dr. Morecraft explains that whoever allows himself to be so overpowered by the effects of wine that he's no longer in control of himself is not wise, to say the least. Whether it's occasional drunkenness or habitual drunkenness, it's sinful. When a person is drunk, mental alertness, self-discipline and wisdom drown in alcohol. Drunkenness is a serious thing in the Bible. It's not something to laugh at. Anybody given to drunkenness shall not inherit the kingdom of God (Galatians 5:19-21). Both of the terms "wine" and "strong drink" denote a beverage that will intoxicate if used in excess. The Old Testament does not condemn the moderate use of these drinks, and even considers wine a blessing from God (e.g. Proverbs 3:9-10, Proverbs 31:6-7). Moderate wine drinking is never forbidden in the Bible. But the Bible condemns drunkenness over and over again, either by the example of people who got drunk or outright statements about getting drunk. Wine and strong drink can excite the passions when consumed in excess, leading to various sins through a loss of self-control.
