@ Josh–I struggle with that, too. What about Christian friends who too often don’t drink in moderation?

As far as the allusion to Corinthians is concerned, what do you do when most or at least many Christians associate alcohol with sin in as bad a way as the Corinthians and idol-meat? I live in the south and many are of this fundamentalist persuasion (I hate using the term evangelical to describe them because that term was first used by the reformers), so I don’t drink around other Christians (unless I know them and they have sound views on the subject)or in public because I don’t want them to stumble or for it to affect my platform to teach at youth group, bible studies, etc.

Does anyone see a problem with going out with non-Christian friends and drinking beer(in moderation of course)? It seems to me like beer is one of the few things that keeps me connected to my non-Christian friends.

Thanks CJ and Clayton. I only write about these things because I’ve had to struggle with them. It just annoys me when I hear people passing judgement that have never even been aroun someone with a drinking problem.

Brotha, just a great post. I hope these are the type of discussions we’ll see on this blog as we balance legalism, wisdom and freedom. In the words of Putty..highfive…

Ah yes, Dr House. I take Vicodin too but if I ate them like House I would be in permanent outer space. I laugh when I see him swallow a handful of pills. Not real life but I do love the show. Bruce Bruce Gerencsers last blog post..What High Ground is Left?

@ Brad – I would agree that beer and pain meds don’t mix (although Dr. House would disagree).

@ Matt – I think I’ll have to add a rule simular to that to my list. Although I don’t have to go to the degree of a porter or stout (although those would be on the list).

I definitely won’t drink beer when my only choices are clear enough to see through. There is not bad time to enjoy a porter or stout though!

Not a beer drinker…….don’t like it. But I link to your site for those who do. Several of my older sons like a good beer. We come from a right wing Fundamentalist background. While we are now the resident family liberals……..we have extended family members who still think drinking beer (and 400 other things) are sin. So……we are “beer free” when family visits. We do not want to offend them.

I can’t drink at all…….I take narcotic pain meds daily…….not a good mix

I enjoy your blog. 20 years ago I would have probably been preaching about your evil blog………but it is good to see a level headed approach to the alcohol issue. Keep up the good work.
