068: Christians & Alcohol: is it a sin?

The CDC says, “Excessive alcohol use is responsible for more than 95,000 deaths in the United States each year, or 261 deaths per day. These deaths shorten the lives of those who die by an average of almost 29 years, for a total of 2.8 million years of potential life lost. It is a leading cause of preventable death in the United States, and cost the nation $249 billion in 2010."   If this is true, why do so many Christians believe that it is not only acceptable but also enjoyable to drink alcohol?   In this episode of RTC, Marc and Fuller open up the Bible to answer the questions like "Is drinking alcohol is sin?" "Is it wise to drink alcohol?" and "How should we handle ourselves if we think it's a sin but others think it's okay?"   Links: The Jesus Bible: https://www.thejesusbible.com   Helpful links: Choose your listening platform: http://linktr.ee/realtalkchristianpodcast Got Questions?: https://www.gotquestions.org Dwell Bible App: https://dwellapp.io Cross Formed Kids from Ryan Coatney: https://crossformedkids.com RTC Website: https://www.realtalkchristianpodcast.com RTC Store: https://teespring.com/stores/real-talk-christian-podcast?page=1   Music used on RTC: Opening Song: "Joy" by Paul Lindgren https://open.spotify.com/track/3VcYVaixPlAS1KDVgYo1Dy?si=TqSXguuVQNudJrkcRDDjIA   Closing Song: "Adjust" by Paul Lindgren https://open.spotify.com/track/16VMY0XxHDo0bLpp6dQpuc?si=a1khJqYTTtWyzeQEbtYGXg
