The New Testament prohibits getting drunk; it does not prohibit drinking alcoholic beverages. In the Old Testament, those under a Nazirite vow did have such a restriction to not drink any wine or strong drink (Numbers 6:3).
Ephesians 5:18 And be not drunk with wine, wherein is excess.
Christ Jesus turned water into wine (John 2:1-10).
And there are Paul's instruction to Timothy:
1 Timothy 5:23 Drink no longer water, but use a little wine for thy stomach's sake and thine often infirmities.
Ephesians 5:18 And be not drunk with wine, wherein is excess.
Christ Jesus turned water into wine (John 2:1-10).
And there are Paul's instruction to Timothy:
