My last drink was in 1986, so however long that is. I was born again in 1981.
Much love!
Drinking Alcohol, should a Christian do it?

What's the scoop?
What question? You make it sound like you don't care about what you do, or if you are pleasing to the one whom you call Lord. So you call Jesus Lord, but what does that mean to you? Much love! You call Jesus Lord. What does that mean to you that Jesus is your Lord? Much love!

People are free to do whatever they can get away with.
But human history is a slow realization that God really means what He says, regardless of our attempts to twist His word to suit our wants and traditions.
Science is catching up to the fact that we can't consume whatever we please and expect to enjoy good health, both mental and physical which, if preserved well, will prove to be extremely helpful in being able to love and serve God and man.

You seem to do a lot of twisting of people's words. Of course it isn't okay to ignore passages.
No, but context is important. Most of those passages were commanded on people back a very long time ago like not eating pork and sacrificing animals to be forgiven of sins. You can decide if they're relevant for today. And it would appear Jesus and his apostles ignored them. Hmmm, well, keep studying the bible then.
John the Baptist might have become an alcoholic had he started drinking. As some people can't handle things like that. We just don't know why probably with John.
No the bible doesn't address drugs of that nature. If it has medicinal value then it might be OK as the bible does support things that are medicinal in nature.

Yeah, I'm working on my short shrift skills.
I'm really being drained of patience with incessant whining and people's obsessions with ceaseless objections.

It's a good point you make about medicine. People like to make hard and fast rules so they can excuse themselves from making tough decisions on a day-to-day basis. I'd probably take a swig or two of Gin if my leg was getting amputated and there was no anesthesia available—maybe a little more. I'd most likely be devoid of any ill effects within a few days. That would be a slippery slope to a drinking problem to some folks' way of thinking.
I would definitely avoid using medicines that intoxicate or irritate for extended periods, though.
My doctor keeps trying to get me on beta blockers for my occasional tachycardia, but I know what they do to pineal melatonin production so I'm sticking to natural remedies. My mom took them so she also had to take something to help her sleep, which will render someone unconscious but doesn't replace the restorative sleep that melatonin provides. By the time she passed away, the med cocktail she was taking had pretty much destroyed her liver and kidneys.

Who says that? And 'they' say a lot of stuff is ok that is unwise for a true Christian to dabble in.
I wouldn't take beta blockers again. I had to take them for a while and I'm glad I don't have to anymore. Sorry to hear about your Mom. When people get older doctors tend to over medicate even more. Knowing end of life is near. But it sounds like her kidneys and liver couldn't handle the meds.

Apparently many within the medical science community are saying weed is beneficial to our health.
It's a good thing all future sins have already been forgiven for true Christians right?
Hey, I'm just going by what my pastor told me and what I'm hearing other preachers say.
It's not my fault other have opposing views that claim you have to stop certain things in your life before you can be saved.
And have the stuff people are saying they don't show what bible passages they think back up what they believe
