Christianity and alcohol
Wine was an important and common drink in Biblical times.  Because of this, the Bible sometimes uses wine as a symbol to teach about good and bad.  Some parts of the Bible use wine as a symbol for good things, like abundance and health.  However, the Bible also calls wine a mocker and beer a brawler (a person who fights too much).  Other parts of the Bible use drinking a cup of strong wine and getting drunk as a symbol of God's anger.
