There you go, they had wine.
Why would they drink it? To avoid bad water, or to get "happy".

If I were in that position, I would definitely drink some wine and even look for "new" wine to not have "fun" but to have access to healthier liquids than the bad water.

Do I need wine to get "happy" and have some fun?
[Eph 5:18 NKJV] 18 And do not be drunk with wine, in which is dissipation; but be filled with the Spirit,

So, since we have the blessing to have good water and even juices, why would you want to drink wine to have "fun"? If because of health, are you sure you don't have other alternative?

It’s probably worth noting that the consequences of drunkenness, in this age, may be more severe than in the Bible times. As nDavid points out, in the Bible times, if you were sober enough to get on your camel, he might take you home. These days, you may take innocent life. It’s something to think about.

Where is it prohibited to drink wine to be happy?

Looks like David didn't think so.

And wine that maketh glad the heart of man, and oil to make his face to shine, and bread which strengtheneth man's heart.

The interesting thing is that some church people push mental health treatment and drugs, but would judge a saint for having a glass of wine. Huh???

Isn't that what I said? "minister in his presence".

Anyways, see the argument our Lord and God presented. I see an "ideal will for us" in that statement.

I'm so confused by this thread. Are we answering the question about drinking beer sending folks to hell? Or are we answering a question about best practices?
