Luke 24:27
Puritan Board Freshman
Drunkenness is a lifestyle not a singular event.
Drunkenness is condemned, getting tipsy on rare occasions is not; in fact it may indeed be commended in Scripture.
Deuteronomy 14:26 seems to indicate that the Lord desired for them to buy strong drink and enjoy it before him.
Deuteronomy 14:26 (New American Standard Bible)
26"You may spend the money for whatever your heart desires: for oxen, or sheep, or wine, or strong drink, or whatever your heart desires; and (A)there you shall eat in the presence of the LORD your God and rejoice, you and your household.
