Well, you might say everybody does it. But according to my self-observation, in protestant churches I noticed that they leave the 'drinking' to the member's conscience. In catholic church members used to offer specially-branded alcoholic drinks to the priest..same brands endorsed by sexually-filled advertisements. i've seen it myself here in the Philippines so many times.
im aware that wine in the Bible has two meanings; and wine can be also a treatment to some diseases just like in the case of Timothy. But the Bible clearly dont want Christians to be drunkards.
Im looking for a church that totally bans alcoholic drinks and can be a ground for disfellowship. do you know one?
1st Cor 5:11-12 "I wrote unto you not to keep company, if any man that is named A BROTHER BE..A DRUNKARD...put away the wicked man from among yourselves."
