The bible does not clearly forbid drinking but the is a scripture which states not get drunk. i am only curious since most drinkers give that excuse. For most drinkers i know who tend to call themselves christians, tend to have unstable marriage and hard time coping to keep in line with God.
so is consuming alcohol a sin?
IMO jackdonekings;
My reasoning has every bit to do with the fact that when your sensoriums are dulled, you are vuulnerable to not only sins, but to spirits that prey on those who are not prepared to go into Spiritual Warfare, because you don't have the whole armor of God on then, whether it is ETOH, Rx drugs, illicit drugs,k etc.
when you experience altered states of conscienciousness you are susceptible to Demons and Familiar spirits to seduce your thoughts..
Just my take..
If you were in the military, you would not want to think that your buddy is
not alert in battle, it can cost your life and his....
That is why they call it "ALERT"
God Bless

I believe this too . . . .alcohol does not cause me to sin . . . yet I believe it causes some to sin . . . . now drunkardness can cause sin in me, a gateway so to speak . . .

I would say a qualified no. The qualification is that alcohol can easily LEAD to other sins such as drunkenness, lust or lewd behaviours. I am not all that "religious", I am just a believer but if the neighbour offers you a beer at the BBQ, I would not worry about drinking it myself.
