Is it a sin to drink beer?

There are references in the Bible against drunkenness.  I can't think of anything off the top of my head in the Bible that forbids controlled drinking.\n\nHere are a list of references from the Bible, as well as other scriptures, concerning drunkenness:  http://scriptures.lds.org/tgd/drnknnss.\n\nI do, however, believe that drinking is a sin, except in the case of partaking of the sacrament.  (http://scriptures.lds.org/dc/89/5#5)

No. Good or bad is not defined on whether you drink or not.

Well, before you die, try to have a little fun, okay? Ben Franklin said that beer is evidence thet God loves us, and wants us to be happy.\n\nSo have a beer.

Not true.  Only crimes of moral turpitude are ineligibilities.  Drinking near a store is just a crime of bad taste and silliness.

A friend of mine is a Jehovah Witness, and according to him, it's a sin to honor anything that has to do with mortal man. If it's a birthday, it's a sin to honor it. because it has to do with some one. Same as Christmas. But it doesn't seem to be a sin when they knock on your door and can't take no for a answer

You see what you want. Qur'an talks about the alcohol and it is forbidden,just because it makes you drunk. A muslim should never be drunk, but awake and fresh! Rivers of wine is explaned as a source of drink which gives pleasure but it doesn't say it gonna make you drunk! I also want ot add that alcohol is forbidden completely. There isn't some thing like more 100 mililiter is forbidden or something. It is forbidden completely. If something makes you drunk or etc. , it is forbidden. This is about principles.

Well if your going to be drinking, drink in moderation. And wine is very good for red blood cells. Jesus gave us all free will to be able to choose what we think is good for us. Yes... at time we do make bad decisions, but take them as lessons in life. Its not about Jesus  "allowing" us to do anything.... its pretty much free will.

Nope, becoming drunk is the sin. Catholics often use real wine for communion. I have the occasional drink. I work at a 5 star restaurant, and we go to wine tastings. My Jehovah's Witness co worker tastes the wine with the rest of us.

:}\nIt does not say alcoholics will go to hell\n\nalcoholics desire Alcholl\ndrunkards consume it.\n1 Cor 6:9 Know ye not that the unrighteous shall not inherit the kingdom of God? Be not deceived: neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate, nor abusers of themselves with mankind,\n\n10 Nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners, shall inherit the kingdom of God.\n\n11 And such were some of you: but ye are washed, but ye are sanctified, but ye are justified in the name of the Lord Jesus, and by the Spirit of our God."\n\nI don't believe drinking is necessarily a sin but for some who are controlled by it , it doesn't look good.

I think it is okay, but in moderation.  One or two drinks is fine as long as you don't overdo it.  I'm a Christian and I enjoy having a few drinks with my Christian friends.  \n\nBut Beware.  Some Christians think it is pure evil and will jump on your case, call you a sinner and a drunkard.  If this happens, be polite and go on your way.  As long as you and God are satified with your lifestyle, you have nothing to worry about.  \n\nOther Christians don't get you into heaven.   Jesus does...  Who are they to decide?

The Bible does not say that drinking is bad.  It does say that drinking to be/get drunk is bad.  It also says that you should honor the Temple of God (your body) by taking care of it.  It also says that people should use self-control and discipline - if you are drunk or high, you won't have those.  Yes, you could offer drinking and drugs as a sacrifice.  But, DON'T do it on your own.  Have the support of friends, family, ANYONE who will help you.  Also, don't do it without God's help.  He loves you lavishly.  You are His beautiful daughter.  He wants you to be free of anything that would bind you to evil and pain.  The Bible says that He promises to be there for you ALWAYS. Trust Him to tell you the truth, and to be there for you.

You can drink ANYTHING your heart desires! BUT.. and i repeat BUT, DO NOT... drink while taking your pain killers!!!!! That could be suicidal, if you do. Your asking for trouble, if you drink alcohol while taking (ANY) your pain meds! SO DONT.... do both!!!!!!

flatlinzreborn is right. The first sin was disobeying God. Regardless of what that fruit was.

If you entertain a sinful thought, it is considered a sin.

When we make a choice to do something that we know is harmful to our bodies, yes, it is a willful sin. Smoking shows no respect for the wonderful gift of life that we were given. It's like being given a very valuable gift, then not showing enough appreciation for it to take care of it and protect it. If someone gave you a Porche, would you fill the gas tank with sugar? Same with smoking. We know it causes all kinds of damage to our health, so.......
