Today, I have been pondering alcohol and Christianity.
My first two years of college (and all of high school) I was very much against alcohol. I didn't think it was okay, ever. But, as I got older, I changed my mind. I decided that it was okay to drink, as long as it was done in moderation. You know, a glass of wine with dinner, a few cocktails at a bar with friends, champagne at a wedding, a beer while watching tv, etc. I've partaken in alcohol in all of those situations. I decided that drinking was okay, as long as you didn't drink to excess, or drink in order to make yourself feel better or to forget things or change you mood, etc.
But, I'm questioning that a bit. No matter how much alcohol I drink, it always seem to alter my thoughts or my mood in some way. And, I guess I just don't know if that's okay.
So, thoughts?
