A popular event called the "BeerOlympics" is condemned many times in the Bible. But even devout Christians have sponsored such drinking events where deliberate alcohol abuse is celebrated. 

Why The Bible Condemns Alcohol Abuse and Drunkenness
Not only is drunkenness condemned in the Bible, it is associated with other sins of gluttony and lust.

Here is one promotion article but there are many listing with a Google search 



Bible Prohibitions on Alcohol Abuse

  • Proverbs 20:1 “Wine is a mocker, strong drink a brawler, and whoever is led astray by it is not wise.”
  • Isaiah 5:11 “Woe to those who rise early in the morning, that they may run after strong drink, who tarry late into the evening as wine inflames them!”
  • Galatians 5:21 “Envy, drunkenness, orgies, and things like these. I warn you, as I warned you before, that those who do such things will not inherit the kingdom of God.
  • 1 Corinthians 6:10 “Nor thieves, nor the greedy, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor swindlers will inherit the kingdom of God.”
  • Romans 13:13 “Let us walk properly in the daytime, not in orgies and drunkenness, not in sexual immorality and sensuality, not in quarreling and jealousy.”
  • 1 Peter 4:3-4 “For the time that is past suffices for doing what the Gentiles want to do, living in sensuality, passions, drunkenness, orgies, drinking parties, and lawless idolatry. With respect to this they are surprised when you do not join them in the same flood of debauchery, and they malign you.”
  • Proverbs 21:17 “Whoever loves pleasure will be a poor man; he who loves wine and oil will not be rich.
