Question: Is it ok to drink just like one cup or bottle of an alcohoic beverage but not get drunk? Is it a sin to drink, as long as you don't get drunk?

Answer: In 1 Corinthians 6:12 Paul set forth an important principle of spiritual living: 'All things are lawful for me, but all things are not helpful. All things are lawful for me, but I will not be brought under the power of any.' The best way to avoid ever being brought under the power of alcohol is to never drink any, not even one drop. Also, please explain how drinking any amount of alcohol would be helpful to a person.
