Is drinking alcohol a sin? Personally I agree. Many Christian denominations and other religions also take the view that it is.

As one who has never consumed alcohol, to maintain purity, abstinence is the best way forward. It is a way towards an enriched life and a way to feel that consumption is not the answer to fill matters within one's life.

Many with limited life direction simply are simply consumed with alcohol to fill their inner self, from a profit driven sector, that uses humans to advance their cause.

In most cases it is.

But then, almost everything we do is sinful:

"Enter through the narrow gate. For wide is the gate and broad is the road that leads to destruction, and many enter through it. But small is the gate and narrow the road that leads to life, and only a few find it."

[Matthew 7:13-14]

Is drinking alcohol a sin?

I guess that depends on how much you drink and
how you behave after drinking.

As American poet and satirist Ogden Nash stated:

"Candy is dandy but liquor is quicker".

Drinking alcohol is not itself a sin. However it may lead to sin, especially when consumed in large quantities.

Please define SIN for me. With the right definition I might be in the clear.

A Scotsman only told me, putting bad ginger ale into good scotch was a sin. Just as sinful as putting good ginger ale into bad scotch. And you are not going to believe this, but his real name was Ronald McDonald.

I enquired of Ronald as to which scotch he preferred to drank; with his broad Scottish accent he announced "Well, Laddy, at the club I drink 'Bonds 7' myself!"

To which I replied "Ronnie! that's rot gut Aussie whiskey!"

Ronnie replied "True Laddy it is to be sure, to be sure, but it is a good deal cheaper than real scotch, Laddy."

Ronnie was also a rather canny chap.

Been to a family Christmas gathering tonight, where the alcohol flowed freely, so I dare not comment until I sober up.

For it to be a sin you would have to believe in religion.
