    Drinking?

    Used for ailments and celebrations like weddings. Jesus made wine for celebrating at a wedding.

    Drunkard? probably not but why drink that much if not needed?

    Could lead to bad things. I have seen and done somethings after drinking I would not have done normally.

    Be careful this is a trap by evil.

    Hope this helps.

    No.

    There is no teaching in the Bible of the sort, "if you drink [some specific number] of times during [some specific period], then you are a drunkard".

    No such definition of "drunkard" exists in the Bible.

    Nor any other sort of definition of "drunkard". The Bible simply does not make any attempt to define the term.

    No. You are only a drunkard if you can't function and go to work or abuse your friends and family while you are under the influence of alcohol.

    Drinking alcohol is not a sin according to scripture...Getting drunk and being a drunkard is the sin

    No...even Jesus & His disciples drank wine daily. The water was not good at that time, but they knew God would not approve of being a drunkard.

    The Bible even says, "take a LITTLE wine for your stomach's sake..."

    Just being born makes you a sinner. Might as well be a drunkard, earn the label, earn the punishment.

    No, a drunkard is a person who gets drunk a lot. If you drink beer often without getting drunk, then you wouldn't be a drunkard.

    if you get drunk when you drink, yes, that's sinful. On glass of wine or a beer is fine.

    No.

    Jesus drank alcoholic wine...at the wedding in Caana...but in moderation.
