Shalom,


Proverbs 20:1 says this:


1WINE IS a mocker, strong drink a riotous brawler; and whoever errs or reels because of it is not wise.


 Notice that this does NOT say that those who drink wine are sinning. It says that those who "err" or "reel" because of it are NOT wise! This is referring to drunkenness! Read Ephesians 5:18:

18 And do not get drunk with wine, for that is debauchery; but ever be filled and stimulated with the [Holy] Spirit.  AMP

Drunkenness is a very dangerous state for the born again believer to be in. The enemy would like nothing better than to trip you up at your most vulnerable time! That's just "how he rolls"! Don't ever get yourself to the point where you are no longer in control. Now I would say with Paul that "I wish that all men were like I myself am [in this matter of self-control]" (1 Corinthians 7:7). It is so much easier to NOT have to deal with this stuff at all! I will have nothing to do with it for the very reason that I don't want to EVER give place to the devil! Protect your heart with all diligence (Proverbs 4:23), for out of YOUR heart will come exactly what you have been putting in! Amen!
