It is a wonderful tool. The Bible also says not to do anything that might cause your brother to stumble. This is a real struggle to find the right balance. One might say that my drinking a glass of wine might cause my children or even other Christians to question my relationship with God. Although it is not for them to judge me, I should do my part in keeping them from stumbling. This seems to be especially true with teens.

Unfortunately alcohol seems to be one of those things that not only causes the user problems but people around them as well and it's easy for things to get out of control.

Wine is supposedly to help decrease bad cholesterol level and is good for the heart. Too much of it will cause liver sclerosis. However, people got drunk out of lack of self-control, or alcoholics are those who are problematic without knowing that the extreme can be very harzardous.
