Let it be understood that Apostolic Friends Forum is an Apostolic Forum.
Apostolic is defined on AFF as:

  1. There is One God. This one God reveals Himself distinctly as Father, Son and Holy Ghost.
  2. The Son is God himself in a human form or "God manifested in the flesh" (1Tim 3:16)
  3. Every sinner must repent of their sins.
  4. That Jesus name baptism is the only biblical mode of water baptism.
  5. That the Holy Ghost is for today and is received by faith with the initial evidence of speaking in tongues.
  6. The saint will go on to strive to live a holy life, pleasing to God.

Re: Social drinking?
What does the Bible say about caffeine? Is there any Scripture that would apply to overindulgence of coffee?

the Bible says to be moderate on all things. (of course it means all permissible things, not that which is clearly defined as sin)

1 Corinthians 9:25 And every man that striveth for the mastery is temperate in all things.

1 Corinthians 6:12 “All things are lawful for me,” but not all things are helpful. “All things are lawful for me,” but I will not be enslaved by anything.

1 Corinthians 8:9 But take care that this right of yours does not somehow become a stumbling block to the weak.

Re: Social drinking?
Does that mean if the Bible doesn't specifically prohibit something that as long as I am moderate in doing it it should be OK?

This is a very slippery road.

The Bible says it is OK to speak in tongues, yet Paul said it was better to prophesize.
The Bible says it is OK to eat, yet it also warns us about overeating.
The Bible says it is OK to have sex, yet it also sets the rules on who to have sex with (A woman) and when (After marriage)
The Bible says to pray for the sick, and yet it is OK to seek doctors, but it also warns us about only relying upon doctors.
The Bible says it is OK to drink wine, yet it warns us about getting drunk.

We could go on and on for many more subjects, but we have to understand that we have to take everything that the Bible says about any subject, instead of just a few selected verses, for by being highly selective just about any doctrine can be taught.

The point is to take everything the Bible says about any subject or area and from the whole teaching of the Bible develop a doctrine that agrees with all the verses. For we must remember that there are no contradictions in the Bible only perceived contradictions.

Re: Social drinking?
Yes, good words spoken, Flaming... just to add ... the Word of God outlines principles that can be applied to any situation life throws at us. Moderation in all things is one of the principles Paul taught.
