Alcohol in the Bible
Well, child, the Bible is a very old book that tells stories and lessons about how to live a good life. In many parts of the Bible, people drank wine, which is an alcoholic drink made from grapes.
Back in those days, they didn't have water filters or ways to keep water clean, so drinking wine was safer than drinking water because the alcohol killed germs. Plus, they didn't have medicine or hospitals like we do now, so they also used wine for some medicinal purposes.
However, the Bible also warns against getting drunk, which means drinking too much alcohol and feeling out of control. The Bible says that when people get drunk, they can make bad decisions and hurt themselves or others.
So, while the Bible does talk about drinking wine, it also cautions people not to drink too much and to be responsible when they do drink.
