Beer----A Tribute!!

Most Christians base their view on alcohol on the teachings of the new testament.

Jesus repeatedly drank wine. However, he shunned FERMENTED alcohol. In other words, the hard stuff. Beer and wine are akin in their alcohol content compared to harder drinks. However, its also important to recall that - as an example, Jesus never abused alcohol, regardless of its strength.

As if regular beer weren't already pushing some people beyond the levels of decency

All alcohol is fermented. The hard liquor is distilled.

Fermentation is the process where the yeast convert sugars to alcohol and carbon dioxide. Without the fermentation, you get no alcohol. After fermentation, you can distill the beer or wine to get whiskey or brandy.

What amuses me is when people try to claim that references to wine in the bible refer to unfermented grape juice.

Do you know why the Pilgrims landed at Plymouth Rock?

They ran out of beer!

Beer was the safest way to store water back then. No beer? Everyone off the boat!

I never did understand the alcohol thing. They drank wine in the Bible. Ya know, this my the blood that was shed....you get it. No, Christians are opposed to alcohol because most are recovering alcoholics. Hell, if it was not for the recovering drug addicts and alcoholics my church would not have a congregation.

Have a great day!
