Is Paul endorsing the consumption of alcoholic beverages when he instructs Timothy to drink wine for his stomach's sake in I Timothy 5:23?
I guess I didn't isolate the part that bothered me. It is the other drink mentioned. The New King James says "wine or similar drink".
Please explain Deuteronomy 14:26 to me.
"Many people think that the Bible is in agreement with drinking alcohol …" this is how you start your tract.

One of our daughters is planning to marry a young man this Dec 28. Here is the problem: He, in particular, and she, (I believe mis-guidedly believing it her role now, even, before she is married) to a lesser degree, are adamantly almost ordering us to have beer and wine at their reception.
