Answer 3

Getting drunk nightly is stupid. Whether it's a sin depends on your religion.

Answer 4

There are more ramifications than you realize. Over 11% of all arable land is used for the manufacturing of alcohol.
Considering that in the olden days, wine was the sign of over-abundance of the harvest, of God's good will toward man, and used in a sacred manner.
Much like tobacco.
Tobacco had its origins in the sacred before its over-use.
Treat it as you would something sacred. Something rare.
To make something sacred a common thing is like a (what's the word?) Contradiction.

Answer 5

1 Cor 6:9-10 Do you not know that the wicked will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived: Neither the sexually immoral not idolater, nor adulterers, nor male prostitutes nor homo sexual offender nor theives nor the greedy nor drunkards, nor slanderers nor swindlers will inherit the kingdom of God.

It looks like getting drunk is a sin. If help is needed to recover, there is a very good ministry on line. It is called Setting Captives Free.

Answer 6

depends on how you define sin. I think it's unhealthy (not that you asked but I feel compelled to judge the act some way - I just don't believe there's a god to be labeling things as sin or not).

Answer 7

Drunkenness is a subcategory of the cardinal sin gluttony (Gluttony as being associated with an overindulgence of food and drink). Also it make you do sinful things.

Answer 8

Read Galatians Chapter 5, and the book of Proverbs.
