He said to me that some bad friends kept forcing him to try the drink a little bit by little, until one night he became drunk and killed his father, who was fighting with him about how he became drunk.ġ. Some people think that drinking wine without having it much is ok but that fact is as we will prove biblically, it Is not ok. The wine when it is used, it goes to the blood and gradually, its percentage increases and the person feels the need to it and gradually the person become drunk. I recall the first person I visited in jail in Egypt, who was a young man and in Egypt at that time, drinking was something forbidden and very rarely used and it is done behind the back, not open like here in Australia. I recall once when the police stopped my car for a breath test by blowing, when he saw me a priest and I said, “I never use wine”, he said, “but you use sacramental wine!”, so it means even this little amount of sacramental wine also affects. I can mention a lot about its medical effect on the body for the short term and for the long term in life, but I leave the medical part for the doctors. Everyone knows that the wine reduces the concentration of the brains and that is why no one is allowed to drive after drinking, even a little amount of wine.
Humans knew about wine around 4000 years before Christ and it had been used medically as an antiseptic, to clean the wounds or as an anesthetic (as a pain killer), as there were no other medications known at that time. There are a lot of bad effects of the wine/alcohol on the human body and everyone knows those who get drunk, how they look terrible, fall on the ground, vomit, and sometimes discharge their dirt uncontrollably. A question came to me and here I am putting the answer from logic, medical, Christian, and Biblical understandings.
