The abuse of alcohol and drunkenness are condemned by God as sin. Drunkards (those who regularly drink liquor and alcoholics) are described in the Bible as those who will not be chosen to inherit the Kingdom of God (1 Corinthians 6: 9-10). But Paul tells the members of the Church in Corinth: "And this was some of you." People can defeat these sins with the help of God, and God expects them to do so.
The sad experience of many people, in addition to years of exhaustive research, shows the incredible damage caused by alcohol abuse - often the habitual abuse of alcohol in the long term. The costs are almost incalculable considering the mental and emotional damage suffered by children and couples. Add to this many additional costs:
Marriage failures
Low performance at work or loss of work.
Abandonment by friends and family
Injuries due to accidents or death of other people caused by drunk driving.
The destruction of the health of the drinker apart from accidents.
To take in excess is indisputably harmful and even addictive.
