How do we know the doctrine of alcohol consumption is true?

Answered in 1 source

The doctrine is supported by biblical passages that allow for wine's use under the principle of moderation and self-control.

The acceptance of wine and strong drink in Scripture is documented in various passages. For instance, Deuteronomy 14:26 clearly illustrates that the Israelites were permitted to consume wine when they expressed their joy before God. Additionally, the New Testament reinforces this concept without commanding total abstinence. Paul’s advice to Timothy in 1 Timothy 5:23 to take a little wine for his stomach supports moderate consumption. It’s essential that these interpretations are taken in context, supported by the emphasis on temperance found throughout the Bible. Understanding these teachings affirm the doctrine of responsible alcohol consumption from a biblical perspective.
