By definition it is not strictly limited to the Bible.
I actually understand what the word means, which is why I asked. You clearly do not. I'm not surprised.
Are you trying to tell me what I believe again?

Personally, I don't think it's good for parents to allow their underage children to drink, even under supervision or whatever... On an extremely fundamental level, it's teaching them they can break the law so long as law enforcement isn't aware... Maybe that's not what all children would conclude, but it's one of those things where if it's ok with mom and dad, maybe it's ok with my closest friends, and so forth.
On kids shooting guns, the same applies - I say it's fine so long as it's legal. I think that varies per location. I've heard some firing ranges allow kids 16 years old to fire without their parent/guardian. Others I've heard really young children (6 years?) being allowed to shoot so long as their parent/guardian is present and closely supervising. If your local laws allow young kids to shoot with adult supervision, cool. Ultimately, it's not a huge deal to me. But I would prefer to teach my kids the importance of following the rules.
Maybe I'm being too dogmatic?

If I were to meet half of the TOL'ers in person, drinking alcohol would be a "must".
Are you even old enough to drink?
Is that you? I thought you were a scrawny, wimpy 13 year old. Are you instead a scrawny, wimpy 30-something? Or is that your dad?
Being that you flunked "Gender Identity 101" in college, I would suggest that you figure out your own life (start by sticking to the gender you were born with) before you belittle others.
The Pinot Grigio/Asiago cheese combo has lasted for at least a couple of years now, I see. I'm eager for the day when Lisa and I can join you and yours for round 2. :cheers:
That's not a college course, and you would know that had you gone to college. My life is pretty well figured out, btw.

And to answer the OP question: No; but it is a sin to spill alcohol.
Preach it, brother!!

Perhaps the better question would have been, what is your favorite type of alcoholic beverage? Not that I would ever question the great and powerful Knight.
Give me a really good beer.:cheers:

We don't often drink alcohol, but when we do(my wife and I), we prefer Shiner Bock. Its a good enough beer that one can last me for months. AND its Texas made.

I believe it was legitimate wine. And probably of good quality at that. I've read that they drank wine regularly because their water was unclean.
I think to drink with the purpose of getting drunk is definitely a sin. I would also say that do drink casually is a sin, because it is unnecessary. I do believe wine should be taken in Communion though.

That's too bad. I always drink with the intention of getting a buzz and loosing up. Is that what you mean by drunk? :idunno:
Are basing any of that on scripture? If so, what scriptures support your view? :idunno:

Good point Elo. How does one define "drunk"?
