text: anyone know any bible verses that claim drinking alcohol is ok? preferably in vast quantities.  are there verses that are against alcohol consumption? one of paul`s letters to timothy advised to "drink a little wine for thy stomach`s sake" there`s a reference somwhere to god providing the grape that creates wine that "makes glad the heart of man"  in my opinion, benjamin franklin said it best "beer is proof positive that god loves us and wants us to be happy"   hail the-allbusiness !
